+ a buffer overrun vulnerability. The sid_parse() function
+ (and related dom_sid_parse() function in the source4 code)
+ do not correctly check their input lengths when reading a
+ binary representation of a Windows SID (Security ID). This
+ allows a malicious client to send a sid that can overflow
+ the stack variable that is being used to store the SID in the
+ Samba smbd server.
