The auth_send function in providers/ldap/ldap_auth.c in System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) 1.3.0, when LDAP authentication and anonymous bind are enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass the authentication requirements of pam_authenticate via an empty password.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
