Samba SID Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been identified in Samba, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system. This issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "sid_parse()" function and the related "dom_sid_parse()" function in the source4 code when reading a binary representation of a Windows SID (Security ID), which could allow a malicious client to crash an affected smbd server or execute arbitrary code.
