Description Sam Fowler 2018-08-01 01:34:54 EDT
When using custom LDAP attributes, Samba seems to recognize the searchFlags confidential flag on custom attributes and hides them from all non-admin users. However, the values of the attributes can still be guessed efficiently by brute forcing them one character after another in a wildcard search query.
