Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Samba.

- samba: SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix

Details:

Andreas Oster discovered that the Samba DNS management server incorrectly
handled certain records. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this
issue to crash Samba, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-14861)

Isaac Boukris discovered that Samba did not enforce the Kerberos
DelegationNotAllowed feature restriction, contrary to expectations.
