Stefan Metzmacher discovered that client-side SMB2/3 required
signing can be downgraded, allowing a man-in-the-middle attacker to
impersonate a server being connected to by Samba, and return
malicious results.
CVE-2016-2123
Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative and Frederic Besler discovered
that the routine ndr_pull_dnsp_name, used to parse data from the
Samba Active Directory ldb database, contains an integer overflow
flaw, leading to an attacker-controlled memory overwrite. An
authenticated user can take advantage of this flaw for remote
privilege escalation.
CVE-2016-2125
Simo Sorce of Red Hat discovered that the Samba client code always
requests a forwardable ticket when using Kerberos authentication. A
target server, which must be in the current or trusted domain/realm,
is given a valid general purpose Kerberos "Ticket Granting Ticket"
(TGT), which can be used to fully impersonate the authenticated user
or service.
