  Security checks were incorrectly applied to the Local Security

  OpenAccount, AddAccountRights and RemoveAccountRights allowing any
  authenticated user to modify the privileges database.

  This is a serious error, as it means that authenticated users can
  connect to the LSA and grant themselves the 'take ownership'
  privilege. This privilege is used by the smbd file server to grant the
  ability to change ownership of a file or directory which means users
  could take ownership of files or directories they do not own.");
