Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba package and not the samba package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The shadow_copy2_get_shadow_copy_data function in modules/vfs_shadow_copy2.c in 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 does not verify that the DIRECTORY_LIST access right has been granted, which allows remote attackers to access snapshots by visiting a shadow copy directory.
