Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.19%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A denial of service vulnerability was discovered in Samba's LDAP server before versions 4.7.12, 4.8.7, and 4.9.3. A CNAME loop could lead to infinite recursion in the server. An unprivileged local attacker could create such an entry, leading to denial of service.
