  - A flaw was found in Samba, in the front-end WINS hook handling: NetBIOS names from registration packets
    are passed to a shell without proper validation or escaping. Unsanitized NetBIOS name data from WINS
    registration packets are inserted into a shell command and executed by the Samba Active Directory Domain
    Controller's wins hook, allowing an unauthenticated network attacker to achieve remote command execution
    as the Samba process. (CVE-2025-10230)
