JSON

A flaw was found in the AD DC NBT server in all Samba versions before 4.10.17, before 4.11.11 and before 4.12.4. A samba user could send an empty UDP packet to cause the samba server to crash.

Mitigation

The NetBIOS over TCP/IP name resolution protocol is implemented as a UDP datagram on port 137.

The AD DC client and server-side processing code for NBT name resolution will enter a tight loop if a UDP packet with 0 data length is received. The client for this case is only found in the AD DC side of the codebase, not that used by the the member server or file server.
