Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21290-1 advisory.

This update for sssd fixes the following issues

- CVE-2026-14474: sudo LDAP provider searches entire directory tree for sudoRole objects by default, enabling privilege escalation (bsc#1270709).
