NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba package and not the samba package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) CreateAccount, (2) OpenAccount, (3) AddAccountRights, and (4) RemoveAccountRights LSA RPC procedures in smbd in Samba 3.4.x before 3.4.17, 3.5.x before 3.5.15, and 3.6.x before 3.6.5 do not properly restrict modifications to the privileges database, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain the "take ownership" privilege via an LSA connection.
