CVE-2019-12436
Description
From CVE.org
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.
Statement
This issue did not affect the version of samba as shipped with 'Red Hat Gluster Storage 3' as they did not include support for Active Directory Domain Controller.
Mitigation
Return to the default configuration by running 'samba' with -M standard, however this may consume more memory.
