Samba <4.9.3 - Info Disclosure

Title source: llm

Description

Samba from version 4.9.0 and before version 4.9.3 that have AD DC configurations watching for bad passwords (to restrict brute forcing of passwords) in a window of more than 3 minutes may not watch for bad passwords at all.

In these cases the manual testing done to confirm an organisation's password policies apply as expected may not have been re-done after the upgrade.
