The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2026:98559 advisory.

    The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) service provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote     directories and authentication mechanisms. It also provides the Name Service Switch (NSS) and the     Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) interfaces toward the system, and a pluggable back-end system to     connect to multiple different account sources.

    Security Fix(es):

    * sssd: sssd: IdP authentication prefix comparison allows cross-user impersonation (CVE-2026-87853)

    Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

    * [RFE] pam: Forward environment variables from PAM client to p11_child (JIRA:RHEL-188425)

    * Spurious warnings about `ldap_sudo_search_base` (JIRA:RHEL-248164)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A flaw was found in SSSD's IdP authentication provider. The eval_access_token_buf() function compares the     OIDC subject identifier using strncmp() with the authenticated user's identifier length, performing a     prefix comparison instead of an exact match. An attacker whose IdP identifier is a strict prefix of a     target user's identifier can authenticate as the target user. (CVE-2026-87853)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

    - Resolves: RHEL-257112 - CVE-2026-87853 sssd: IDP prefix-match bypass in eval_access_token_buf()
    - Resolves: RHEL-192056 - CVE-2026-14474 sssd: sssd: sudo LDAP provider searches entire directory tree for     sudoRole
