Good catch! That's a very bad side-effect of bug 475974, which already
has a fix committed upstream. Sadly we spotted it too late to include it
in 2.28.1... I'm not sure about the security vulnerability tag, since
you already need to have admin powers to do this. OTOH it's easy for an
user to miss the fact that GID is 0. That's a least a reason to do an
SRU.
The root bug here is that we have been checking that the GID of the root
group can't be changed, but not that one can create a pseudo new group
with GID 0. This should be fixed too, even if that does not lead to
problems except in conjunction with the current bug.
