Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2017-09-05 10:00:33 UTC 
There are several code paths where the code doesn't enforce SMB signing:

* The fixes for CVE-2015-5296 didn't apply the implied signing protection
  when enforcing encryption for commands like 'smb2mount -e', 'smbcacls -e' and
  'smbcquotas -e'.

* The python binding exported as 'samba.samba3.libsmb_samba_internal'
  doesn't make use of the "client signing" smb.conf option.

* libgpo as well as 'net ads gpo' doesn't require SMB signing when fetching
  group policies.

* Commandline tools like 'smbclient', 'smbcacls' and 'smbcquotas' allow
  a fallback to an anonymous connection when using the '--use-ccache'
  option and this happens even if SMB signing is required.

Comment 2 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2017-09-05 10:07:03 UTC 
Mitigation:

The missing implied signing for 'smb2mount -e', 'smbcacls -e' and 'smbcquotas -e' can be enforced by explicitly using '--signing=required' on the commandline or "client signing = required" in smb.conf.
