CVE-2026-104038: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10

Medium severity, CVSS 5.9. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in sssd. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by submitting a certificate that lacks an expected Security Identifier (SID) extension. In deployments configured with SID-based certificate mapping rules, the service fails to verify the presence of the extension before processing it, causing the process to crash during authentication or lookup operations.
