Synopsis:          Moderate: authconfig security, bug fix, and 
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2017:2285-1
Issue Date:        2017-08-01
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2017-7488
--

Security Fix(es):

* A flaw was found where authconfig could configure sssd in a way that
treats existing and non-existing logins differently, leaking information
on existence of a user. An attacker with physical or network access to the
machine could enumerate users via a timing attack. (CVE-2017-7488)
