NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba-devel package and not the samba-devel package as distributed by Centos.

A flaw was found in Samba’s WINS server component when running as an Active Directory Domain Controller. The WINS protocol handlers for certain request types did not properly validate incoming packets, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and crash the WINS service using specially crafted UDP packets.
