CVE-2019-3824
Description
A flaw was found in the way an LDAP search expression could crash the shared LDAP server process of a samba AD DC. An authenticated user, having read permissions on the LDAP server, could use this flaw to cause denial of service.
Statement
The versions of samba packages shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7 do not support Active Directory Domain Controller mode, therefore are not affected by this flaw. 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.
