NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba4-python package and not the samba4-python package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The bundled LDAP client library in 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 recognize the "client ldap sasl wrapping" setting, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to perform LDAP protocol-downgrade attacks by modifying the client-server data stream.
