Description

The SMB1 protocol implementation in Samba 4.x before 4.2.11, 4.3.x before 4.3.8, and 4.4.x before 4.4.2 does not recognize the "server signing = mandatory" setting, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SMB servers by modifying the client-server data stream.

Affected products

Canonical Ubuntu Linux: 14.04, 15.10, 16.04
Samba: 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.0.5 (+66)
