Slackware: 2016-189-01: samba Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/samba-4.4.5-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This release fixes a security issue: Client side SMB2/3 required signing can be downgraded. It's possible for an attacker to downgrade the required signing for an SMB2/3 client connection, by injecting the SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_IS_GUEST or SMB2_SESSION_FLAG_IS_NULL flags. This means that the attacker can impersonate a server being connected to by Samba, and return malicious results. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-2119 (* Security fix *)
