Samba SID name translation privilege escalation
| samba-sid-name-privilege-escalation (34315) |  High Risk |
Description:
Samba could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a logic error in the smbd internal stack. SIDs to/from names are improperly translated when using a Samba local list of user and group accounts, which could allow a local attacker to temporarily issue SMB/CIFS protocol operations as the root user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain root privileges on the system.
