CVE-2016-2115: Medium severity ubuntu vulnerability
Published Apr 25, 2016
·Updated
Samba 3.x and 4.x before 4.2.11, 4.3.x before 4.3.8, and 4.4.x before 4.4.2 does not require SMB signing within a DCERPC session over ncacnnp, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SMB clients by modifying the client-server data stream.
