(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.
