What is CVE-2019-14870?

Samba versions prior to 4.9.17, 4.10.11, and 4.11.3 exhibit a flaw in the S4U Kerberos delegation model, whereby certain clients can be bypassed from constrained delegation protections. Specifically, even if a client is flagged as non-delegatable in Active Directory through the 'delegation_not_allowed' attribute, Samba inadvertently allows the impersonation of these clients with forwardable tickets. This oversight could lead to unauthorized access to services by compromised accounts, making it crucial for administrators to update to the patched versions promptly to maintain network integrity.
