CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade samba to version 4.1.22 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The LDAP server in the AD domain controller in Samba 4.x before 4.1.22 does not check return values to ensure successful ASN.1 memory allocation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and daemon crash) via crafted packets.
