Doc Text:
A Kerberos elevation of privilege vulnerability was found in all versions Samba AD DC. It exploits weaknesses in the RC4-HMAC cipher, allowing a service account with constrained delegation permission to forge a more powerful Kerberos ticket. This flaw could enable privilege escalation by adding unauthorized groups to the Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) without knowing the krbtgt key.

Created samba tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 2154322]

Comment 5 Sandipan Roy 2025-04-16 14:26:50 UTC
The Samba package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, 8 and 9 is not affected by this issue as Red Hat doesn't provide the AD domain controller capability with it.
