CVEID: CVE-2015-5370
DESCRIPTION:
Samba is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper validation of DCE-RPC packets by the DCE-RPC client and server implementations. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to downgrade a secure connection to an insecure one and consume an overly large amount of CPU resources.
CVSS Base Score: 5.4

CVEID: CVE-2016-2110
DESCRIPTION:
Samba could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to protect the feature negotiation of NTLMSSP from a downgrade. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to clear NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_SIGN and NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_SEAL flags and perform downgrade attacks.

CVEID: CVE-2016-2111
DESCRIPTION:
Samba could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by an error in the NETLOGON service when a Domain Controller is configured. By logging into a domain joined system and observing network traffic, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted application to connect to another domain joined system and access session-related information of the spoofed computer.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3

CVEID: CVE-2016-2114
DESCRIPTION:
Samba could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to enforce required smb signing. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to perform unauthorized actions.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/111941 for the current score

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2015-7560
DESCRIPTION:
Samba could allow a remote authenticated attacker to launch a symlink attack. By creating a symbolic link to a file or directory using SMB1 UNIX extensions and then issuing a non-UNIX SMB1, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to overwrite access control lists on the directory.

CVEID: CVE-2016-2118
DESCRIPTION:
Samba could allow a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by the acceptance of inadequate authentication levels by the Microsoft Security Account Manager (SAM) and Local Security Authority (Domain Policy) (LSAD) remote protocols. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to impersonate an authenticated user against the SAMR or LSAD service and gain access to the Security Account Manager (SAM) database. This vulnerability is also known as the BADLOCK bug.
