Technical description

Samba 3.x and 4.x before 4.2.11, 4.3.x before 4.3.8, and 4.4.x before 4.4.2 does not properly implement the DCE-RPC layer, which allows remote attackers to perform protocol-downgrade attacks, cause a denial of service (application crash or CPU consumption), or possibly execute arbitrary code on a client system via unspecified vectors.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
