Original advisory details:

 Sri Nagasubramanian discovered that the Samba acl_xattr VFS module
 incorrectly handled read-only files. When Samba is configured to ignore
 system ACLs, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to truncate
 read-only files. (CVE-2023-4091)

 Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the DirSync
 control. A remote attacker with an RODC DC account could possibly use this
 issue to obtain all domain secrets. (CVE-2023-4154)

 Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the rpcecho
 development server. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
 cause Samba to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service.
 (CVE-2023-42669)

 Kirin van der Veer discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain RPC
 service listeners. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
 Samba to start multiple incompatible RPC listeners, resulting in a denial
 of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04.
 (CVE-2023-42670)");
