Description:
A security issue has been reported in Samba, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The security issue is caused due to Winbind incorrectly assigning a primary group id of 0 to the queried domain user when "winbind nss info" is set to "sfu" or "rfc2307". This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges, but requires that the RFC2307 or SFU (Services for Unix) primary group attributes are missing.
The security issue is reported in Samba versions from 3.0.25 to 3.0.25c.
