Description
CVE-2026-127100 is a vulnerability in the SSSD PAM responder on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 builds with the JSON PAM extension enabled. A local attacker can cause a NULL pointer dereference by submitting a crafted authentication request with a non-string OAuth2 code value. This leads to termination of the PAM responder and disrupts SSSD-backed authentication, resulting in a denial of service. No confidentiality or integrity impacts are established. The vulnerability is rated moderate by Red Hat, with affected builds starting from RHEL 9.8 and 10.2 where the JSON PAM extension is enabled. No mitigation or patch is currently available that meets Red Hat's criteria for ease of use and deployment.
