Upgrade Centos:8 samba-krb5-printing to version 0:4.18.6-1.el8 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba-krb5-printing package and not the samba-krb5-printing package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
An infinite loop vulnerability was found in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight. When parsing Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets sent by the client, the core unmarshalling function sl_unpack_loop() did not validate a field in the network packet that contains the count of elements in an array-like structure. By passing 0 as the count value, the attacked function will run in an endless loop consuming 100% CPU. This flaw allows an attacker to issue a malformed RPC request, triggering an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service condition.
