Summary:

Samba could be made to expose sensitive information over the network.

Software Description:
- samba: SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix

certain situations. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform a man
in the middle attack. (CVE-2017-12150)

Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba incorrectly handled encryption
across DFS redirects. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform a
man in the middle attack. (CVE-2017-12151)

when SMB1 is being used. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 17.04:
  samba                           2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.7
