Samba greater than 4.7.6 in Bionic

Asked by Joey Officer

The current release of Samba is 4.16 (though point releases of earlier versions are available as well), however the current/latest release for Bionic (18.04.6) is Samba 4.7.6 (approximately 4 years old at this point).

It's my understanding that some fixes are back-ported into previous releases. For a new installation of Samba on Bionic, will a current version be released, ideally looking for at least 4.15.5 to satisfy vulnerability scans.

There is no official build with such version available in the Ubuntu repositories for bionic, but there are PPAs, e.g. https://launchpad.net/~linux-schools/+archive/ubuntu/samba4.15

Can you help with this problem?
