A flaw was found in the way realmd parsed certain input when writing configuration into the sssd.conf or smb.conf file. A remote attacker could use this flaw to inject arbitrary configurations into these files via a newline character in an LDAP response.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2015-654:01 advisory.

    realmd is a DBus system service which manages discovery and enrollment in realms     and domains like Active Directory or IPA. The control center uses realmd as the     back end to 'join' a domain simply and automatically configure things correctly.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2015-2704     realmd allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary configurations in     to sssd.conf and smb.conf via a newline character in an LDAP response.
    Fixed bugs:
    * Joining a Red Hat Enterprise Linux machine to a domain using the realm utility creates     /home/domainname/[username]/ directories for domain users. Previously, SELinux labeled the domain users'     directories incorrectly. As a consequence, the domain users sometimes experienced problems with SELinux     policy. This update modifies the realmd service default behavior so that the domain users' directories are     compatible with the standard SELinux policy.
    * Previously, the realm utility was unable to join or discover domains with domain names containing     underscore (_). The realmd service has been modified to process underscores in domain names correctly,     which fixes the described bug.
    Enhancements:
    * The realmd utility now allows the user to disable automatic ID mapping from the command line. To disable     the mapping, pass the --automatic-id-mapping=no option to the realmd utility.

A flaw was found in the way realmd parsed certain input when writing configuration into the sssd.conf or smb.conf file. A remote attacker could use this flaw to inject arbitrary configurations into these files via a newline character in an LDAP response. (CVE-2015-2704)

It was found that the realm client would try to automatically join an active directory domain without authentication, which could potentially lead to privilege escalation within a specified domain.

The realmd packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.16.1, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - Joining a Scientific Linux machine to a domain using the     realm utility creates /home/domainname/[username]/     directories for domain users. Previously, SELinux     labeled the domain users' directories incorrectly. As a     consequence, the domain users sometimes experienced     problems with SELinux policy. This update modifies the     realmd service default behavior so that the domain     users' directories are compatible with the standard     SELinux policy.

  - Previously, the realm utility was unable to join or     discover domains with domain names containing underscore     (_). The realmd service has been modified to process     underscores in domain names correctly, which fixes the     described bug.

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement :

  - The realmd utility now allows the user to disable     automatic ID mapping from the command line. To disable     the mapping, pass the '--automatic-id- mapping=no'     option to the realmd utility.

Updated realmd packages that fix two security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The realmd DBus system service manages discovery of and enrollment in realms and domains, such as Active Directory or Identity Management (IdM). The realmd service detects available domains, automatically configures the system, and joins it as an account to a domain.

All realmd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements.
