Comment 1 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2019-03-06 16:12:10 UTC
CVE-2019-3811: SSSD used to return “/” in case a user entry had no home directory. This was deemed a security issue because this flaw could impact services that restrict the user’s filesystem access to within their home directory. An empty home directory field would indicate “no filesystem access”, where sssd reporting it as “/” would grant full access (though still confined by unix permissions, SELinux etc).
