The samldb_check_user_account_control_acl function in dsdb/samdb/ldb_modules/samldb.c in Samba 4.x before 4.1.22, 4.2.x before 4.2.7, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3 does not properly check for administrative privileges during creation of machine accounts, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging the existence of a domain with both a Samba DC and a Windows DC, a similar issue to CVE-2015-2535.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects Samba domain controllers in specific 4.x releases. An authenticated domain user could create machine accounts without the intended administrative privilege checks, but the described exposure depends on a domain containing both a Samba DC and a Windows DC. Exposure is most likely in legacy Samba 4.x Active Directory domain-controller environments, especially mixed domains with both Samba and Windows DCs. General Samba file-server-only deployments are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Treat as a targeted legacy-domain risk. It is not documented as actively exploited here, but affected domain-controller environments should be updated because account-control bypasses can weaken identity governance. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Samba to 4.1.22, 4.2.7, 4.3.3, or later vendor-fixed packages.; Use distro advisories from Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, or Gentoo for package-specific fixes.; Prioritize mixed Samba DC and Windows DC domains for remediation..
