CVE-2026-104046: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10

Medium severity, CVSS 6.2. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in SSSD (System Security Services Daemon). When Identity Provider (IdP) authentication is enabled, pre-authentication requests retain state in memory without being cleared or timed out. A local attacker can repeatedly initiate authentication flows without completing them, causing unbounded memory consumption. This memory exhaustion can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by degrading or terminating SSSD authentication services.
