NVD Description

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

Samba 4.10.x before 4.10.5 has a NULL pointer dereference, leading to an AD DC LDAP server Denial of Service. This is related to an attacker using the paged search control. The attacker must have directory read access in order to attempt an exploit.
