OPENAFS-SA-2016-001 group creation by foreign users
CVE-2016-2860:
The ptserver permits foreign-cell users to create groups as if they were
system:administrators. In particular, groups in the user namespace
(with no colon) and the system: namespace can be created. No group
quota is enforced for the creation of these groups, but they will be
owned by system:administrators and cannot be changed by the user that
created them. When processing requests from foreign users, the
creator ID is overwritten with the ID of system:administrators, and
that field is later used for access control checks in
CorrectGroupName(), called from CreateEntry().
The access-control bypass is not possible for creating user entries,
since there is an early check in CreateOK() that only permits
administrators to create users, using a correct test for whether
the call is being made by an administrator.
