CVE-2025-10230 (GCVE-0-2025-10230)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-11-07 19:42 – Updated: 2025-12-03 16:43
VLAI?
Summary
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.
Severity ?
