This configuration could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass security restrictions and be assigned a role that the attacker was not explicitly assigned. The vulnerability is due to incorrect processing of group names retrieved from a Microsoft Active Directory server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability if the attacker belongs to a group with a name that contains a similar set of characters as the name of an authorized group. An exploit could allow the attacker to access the device or obtain access to a role for which the attacker was not specifically authorized on the device.
