CVE-2015-5296

Samba 3.x y 4.x en versiones anteriores a 4.1.22, 4.2.x en versiones anteriores a 4.2.7 y 4.3.x en versiones anteriores a 4.3.3 admite conexiones que están cifradas pero no firmadas, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle llevar a cabo un ataque de degradación de cifrado-a-descifrado modificando el flujo de datos cliente-servidor, relacionado con clidfs.c, libsmb_server.c y smbXcli_base.c.

A man-in-the-middle vulnerability was found in the way "connection signing" was implemented by Samba. A remote attacker could use this flaw to downgrade an existing Samba client connection and force the use of plain text.

Samba is an open-source implementation of the Server Message Block or Common Internet File System protocol, which allows PC-compatible machines to share files, printers, and other information. A denial of service flaw was found in the LDAP server provided by the AD DC in the Samba process daemon. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted packet, which could cause the server to consume an excessive amount of memory and crash. Multiple buffer over-read flaws were found in the way Samba handled malformed inputs in certain encodings. An authenticated, remote attacker could possibly use these flaws to disclose portions of the server memory.
