CVE-2018-10918
An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash a samba server in an Active Directory Domain Controller configuration.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.51%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the way samba checked database outputs from the LDB database layer. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash a samba server in an Active Directory Domain Controller configuration. Samba versions before 4.7.9 and 4.8.4 are vulnerable.
