In Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000, a trusting domain that receives authorization information from a trusted domain does not verify that the trusted domain is authoritative for all listed SIDs, which allows remote attackers to gain Domain Administrator privileges on the trusting domain by injecting SIDs from untrusted domains into the authorization data that comes from from the trusted domain.
