Dear samba maintainers, the fix for CVE-2018-1050 (eg from 4.5.12+dfsg-2+deb9u) applies cleanly on 3.6.6-6+deb7u15, however CVE-2018-1050 says that only versions >4.0.0 are affected.
Since (afaics) there is no known exploit I cannot really test this, but
I believe 3.6.6-6+deb7u15 is also vulnerable and the ">4.0.0" is only
claimed to be non-affected because the samba developers don't support
< 4.0.0 anymore. Is that the case?
What's your recommendation what should be done here? To me it seems we
should fix 3.6.6 in oldoldstable and then also notify others that <4.0.0
is vulnerable, but I have no idea how to best communicate the latter.
Comments much appreciated.
