FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

A flaw was found in the way Samba maps domain users to local users. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause possible privilege escalation.
Mitigation: Setting "gensec:require_pac=true" in the smb.conf makes, due to a cache prime in winbind, the DOMAIN\user lookup succeed, provided nss_winbind is in use, 'winbind use default domain = no' (the default) and no error paths are hit.
It would be prudent to pre-create disabled users in Active Directory matching on all privileged names not held in Active Directory, eg
