NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba-winbind-krb5-locator package and not the samba-winbind-krb5-locator package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Samba 3.x and 4.x before 4.1.22, 4.2.x before 4.2.7, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3 supports connections that are encrypted but unsigned, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct encrypted-to-unencrypted downgrade attacks by modifying the client-server data stream, related to clidfs.c, libsmb_server.c, and smbXcli_base.c.
