| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of Samba running on the remote host is 4.x prior to 4.1.16 and is, therefore, potentially affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.
The Samba server is affected by a flaw in the Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) component due to a failure to implement a required check on the 'UF_SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT' bit of the 'userAccountControl' attributes. This vulnerability could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to elevate privileges.
Note that this issue only affects Samba installations acting as Active Directory Domain Controllers that allow delegation for the creation of user or computer accounts.
* Note: If this check solely relied on the version number of the remote Samba server to assess this vulnerability, then this might be a false positive.
