CVE-2021-23192  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:21.04 samba to version 2:4.13.14+dfsg-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba package and not the samba package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:21.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the way samba implemented DCE/RPC. If a client to a Samba server sent a very large DCE/RPC request, and chose to fragment it, an attacker could replace later fragments with their own data, bypassing the signature requirements.
