How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 samba4-python to version 0:4.0.0-61.el6_5.rc4 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2014:0383.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba4-python package and not the samba4-python package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The owner_set function in smbcacls.c in smbcacls in Samba 4.0.x before 4.0.16 and 4.1.x before 4.1.6 removes an ACL during use of a --chown or --chgrp option, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging an unintended administrative change.
