The package has been flagged "outdated" but even 4.6.3 in testing is affected.

The easiest fix is actually just upgrade to 4.6.4, the patch (https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/patches/samba-4.6.3-4.6.4.diffs.gz) seemed very minimal so we should have just had it testing.

This is a pretty severe bug that has already been fixed in other distros. Can we at least get a status update on the fix if you aren't going to release it?
