    OPENAFS-SA-2016-001 group creation by foreign users
    
    CVE-2016-2860:
    
    In AFS 3.3 as part of the addition of the cross-cell support for foreign
    user auto-registration a bug was introduced that permits foreign users
    to create arbitrary groups as if they were system administrators.  This
    permits the groups to be created without any group quota checks, and
    using group names that non-administrators would not normally be able to
    create, such as groups with the "system:" prefix or groups with no colon
    (that is, in the namespace for users).
    
    Additionally, all entries created using the auto-registration service
    were marked as being created by system:administrators.  This behavior
    should not be changed on the stable release branch, but for the next
    release the behavior will change to show these entries as being
    self-created, to better reflect reality.
