Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2020-01-15 08:50:33 UTC 
As per upstream advisory:

If samba is set with "log level = 3" (or above) then the string obtained from the client, after a failed character conversion, is printed.  Such strings can be provided during the NTLMSSP authentication exchange.

In the Samba AD DC in particular, this may cause a long-lived process(such as the RPC server) to terminate.  (In the file server case, the most likely target, smbd, operates as process-per-client and so a crash there is harmless).
