Description

Samba 4.x before 4.2.11, 4.3.x before 4.3.8, and 4.4.x before 4.4.2 does not verify X.509 certificates from TLS servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof LDAPS and HTTPS servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.

Solution(s)

  • samba-upgrade-4_2_11
  • samba-upgrade-4_3_8
  • samba-upgrade-4_4_2
