NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba package and not the samba package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A heap-buffer overflow was found in the way samba clients processed extra long filename in a directory listing. A malicious samba server could use this flaw to cause arbitrary code execution on a samba client. Samba versions before 4.6.16, 4.7.9 and 4.8.4 are vulnerable.
