Badlock patch for downstream vendors?

[Vijaya Upadhyaya K]

Hi,

The Badlock website says - "Vendors and distributors of Samba are being
informed before a security fix is released in any case. This is part of any
Samba security release process."

Could you please let me know the procedure involved in getting the fix
sooner for downstream vendors, so that they can be ready with the fix in
their products by 12th April?

Regards,
Vijaya
