Description

Samba winbindd contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized password exposure. It is possible to gain access to plain text winbindd passwords of a domain member server. When the log level is set to 5 or higher, winbindd stores these credentials in a plain text file readable by non-administrative users, which may lead to a loss of confidentiality.
