Subject: [PATCH] TOOLS: replace system() with execvp() to avoid execution of
user supplied command
A flaw was found in SSSD, where the sssctl command was vulnerable
to shell command injection via the logs-fetch and cache-expire
subcommands. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the root user
into running a specially crafted sssctl command, such as via sudo,
to gain root access. The highest threat from this vulnerability is
to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
:fixes: CVE-2021-3621
