I'm seeing it here:
https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwinprotocoldoc.blob.core.windows.net%2Fproductionwindowsarchives%2FMS-PAC%2F%255bMS-PAC%255d-20211109-diff.pdf&data=04%7C01%7CKristian.Smith%40microsoft.com%7C976b8182b4b84582f4bd08d9af334186%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637733456959745681%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=hPdqSfDWTKjXyRhC6Casr19q0dPSZv6Hg0em7noK4Mc%3D&reserved=0
But for me the PAC_ATTRIBUTES_INFO documentation is a bit unclear:
We have this in Samba:
typedef [bitmap32bit] bitmap {
PAC_ATTRIBUTE_FLAG_PAC_WAS_REQUESTED = 0x00000001,
PAC_ATTRIBUTE_FLAG_PAC_WAS_GIVEN_IMPLICITLY = 0x00000002
} PAC_ATTRIBUTE_INFO_FLAGS;
typedef struct {
uint32 flags_length; /* length in bits */
PAC_ATTRIBUTE_INFO_FLAGS flags;
} PAC_ATTRIBUTES_INFO;
And the documentation has:
FlagsLength (4 bytes): An unsigned 32-bit integer in little-endian format that describes the length,
in bits, of the Flags field.
Flags (variable): an array of 32-bit unsigned integers in little-endian format that contains flag bits
describing the PAC.
It's not really clear that the array size is '((int)(flags_length/32))+1', for now it's seems to be just a single
uint32 element with two defined flags. Unless bit 33 will be defined someday, it would be easier to have it as
typedef struct {
uint32 number_of_valid_flags;
uint32 flags;
} PAC_ATTRIBUTES_INFO;
which is basically what we currently have in Samba, but in theory it would have to be
typedef struct {
uint32 number_of_valid_flags;
uint32 flags[(number_of_valid_flags/32)+1];
} PAC_ATTRIBUTES_INFO;
