NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba4-pidl package and not the samba4-pidl package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The sys_recvfrom function in nmbd in Samba 3.6.x before 3.6.24, 4.0.x before 4.0.19, and 4.1.x before 4.1.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a malformed UDP packet.
