NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba-winbind package and not the samba-winbind package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 onwards are vulnerable to a denial of service attack when the RPC spoolss service is configured to be run as an external daemon. Missing input sanitization checks on some of the input parameters to spoolss RPC calls could cause the print spooler service to crash.
