Descriptions

The winbind plugin in pppd for ppp 2.4.4 and earlier does not check the return code from the setuid function call, which might allow local users to gain privileges by causing setuid to fail, such as exceeding PAM limits for the maximum number of user processes, which prevents the winbind NTLM authentication helper from dropping privileges.

El 'plugin' (complemento) winbind en pppd para ppp (Ponit to Point Protocol) v2.4.4 y anteriores no chequea el código de respuesta de la llamada a la función setuid, lo que puede permiter a usuarios locales ganar privilegios provocando que la función setuid falle, tales como exceder los límites PAM para el máximo número de procesos de usuario, lo que evita que el componente de autenticación NTLM de winbind (winbind NTLM authentication helper) retire privilegios.
