SSSD 1.16.0
===========
The SSSD team is proud to announce the release of version 1.16.0 of the
System Security Services Daemon.
The tarball can be downloaded from https://releases.pagure.org/SSSD/sssd/
RPM packages will be made available for Fedora shortly.

Highlights
----------
Security fixes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* This release fixes CVE-2017-12173: Unsanitized input when searching in
local cache database. SSSD stores its cached data in an LDAP like local
database file using libldb. To lookup cached data LDAP search filters
like (objectClass=user)(name=user_name) are used. However, in
sysdb_search_user_by_upn_res(), the input was not sanitized and
allowed to manipulate the search filter for cache lookups. This would
allow a logged in user to discover the password hash of a different user.
New Features
^^^^^^^^^^^^
* SSSD now supports session recording configuration through tlog. This
feature enables recording of everything specific users see or type
during their sessions on a text terminal. For more information, see
the sssd-session-recording(5) manual page.
* SSSD can act as a client agent to deliver
Fleet Commander <https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/FleetCommander>
policies defined on an IPA server. Fleet Commander provides a
configuration management interface that is controlled centrally and
that covers desktop, applications and network configuration.
* Several new systemtap <https://sourceware.org/systemtap/> probes
were added into various locations in SSSD code to assist in
troubleshooting and analyzing performance related issues. Please see the
sssd-systemtap(5) manual page for more information.
* A new LDAP provide access control mechanism that allows to restrict
access based on PAM's rhost data field was added. For more details,
please consult the sssd-ldap(5) manual page, in particular the
options ldap_user_authorized_rhost and the rhost value of
ldap_access_filter.
Performance enhancements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Several attributes in the SSSD cache that are quite often used during
cache searches were not indexed. This release adds the missing indices,
which improves SSSD performance in large environments.
Notable bug fixes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* The SSSD libwbclient implementation adjusted its behaviour in order to
be compatible with Winbind's return value of wbcAuthenticateUserEx().
This enables the SSSD libwbclient library to work with Samba-4.6 or newer.
* SSSD's plugin for MIT Kerberos to send the PAC to the PAC responder
did not protect the communication with the PAC responder with a mutex.
This was causing multi-threaded applications that process the Kerberos
PAC to miss a reply from SSSD and then were blocked until the default
client timeout of 300 seconds passed. This release adds the mutex,
which fixes the PAC responder usage in multi-threaded environments.
* Previously, SSSD used to refresh several expired sudo rules by combining
them into a long LDAP filter. This was ineffective, because the LDAP server
had to process the query, but at that point, the client was quite often
querying most or all of the sudo rules anyway. In this version, when
the number of sudo rules to be refreshed exceeds the value of a new option
sudo_threshold, all sudo rules are fetched instead.
* A bug in the sudo integration that prevented the rules from matching if the
user name referenced in that rule was overriden with sss_override or
IPA ID views was fixed
* When SSSD is configured with id_provider=ad, then a Kerberos
configuration is created that instructs libkrb5 to use TCP for communication
with the AD DC by default. This would save switching from UDP to TCP, which
happens almost every time with the ad provider due to the PAC attached to
the Kerberos ticket.
Packaging Changes
-----------------
* The sss_debuglevel and sss_cache utilities were superseded by
sssctl commands sssctl debug-level and sssctl cache-expire,
respectively. While this change is backwards-compatible in the sense
that the old commands continue to work, it is recommended to switch
to the sssctl command which will in future encompass all SSSD
administration tasks.
* Two new manpages, sssd-session-recording(5) and sssd-systemtap(5)
were added.
* A new systemtap example script, which is packaged by default at
/usr/share/sssd/systemtap/dp_request.stp was added.
* A new directory called deskprofile under the SSSD state directory
(typically /var/lib/sss/) was added. SSSD downloads the Fleet
Commander profiles into this directory.
Documentation Changes
---------------------
* The ldap_user_certificate option has changed its default value
in the LDAP provider from "not set" to userCertificate;binary.
* The ldap_access_filter option has a new allowed value rhost
to support access control based on the PAM rhost value. The attribute
that SSSD reads during the rhost access control can be configured using
the new option ldap_user_authorized_rhost.
* The thresholds after which the IPA and LDAP sudo providers will refresh
all sudo rules instead of only the expired ones can be tuned using the
sudo_threshold option.
* A new provider handler, session_provider was added. At the moment,
only two handlers, ipa and none are supported. The IPA session
handler is used to fetch the Fleet Commander profiles from an IPA
server.
* The interval after which the IPA session provider will check for new
FleetCommander profiles can be configured using the new
ipa_deskprofile_request_interval option.
