As reported in the upstream advisory and bugzilla [1]: All current versions of Samba 4.x.x are vulnerable to a remote code execution vulnerability in the nmbd NetBIOS name services daemon. A malicious browser can send packets that may overwrite the heap of the target nmbd NetBIOS name services daemon. It may be possible to use this to generate a remote code execution vulnerability as the superuser (root). Patches are available for 4.1.x [2] and 4.0.x [3].
