CVE-2020-10704
Due to the way samba handles certain requests as an Active Directory Domain Controller LDAP server, an unauthorized user can cause a stack overflow leading to a denial of service.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.45%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
