samba: Flaws in Kerberos PAC validation can trigger privilege elevation

Published May 11, 2017 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS 6.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
Samba version 4.0.0 up to 4.5.2 is vulnerable to privilege elevation due to incorrect handling of the PAC (Privilege Attribute Certificate) checksum. A remote, authenticated, attacker can cause the winbindd process to crash using a legitimate Kerberos ticket. A local service with access to the winbindd privileged pipe can cause winbindd to cache elevated access permissions.
