Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2017-11-10 06:53:16 EST
As per upstream advisory:

All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 onwards are vulnerable to a use after free vulnerability, where a malicious SMB1 request can be used to control the contents of heap memory via a deallocated heap pointer. It is possible this may be used to compromise the SMB server.
Comment 1 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2017-11-10 06:53:33 EST
Mitigation:

Prevent SMB1 access to the server by setting the parameter:

"server min protocol = SMB2"

to the [global] section of your smb.conf and restart smbd. This prevents and SMB1 access to the server. Note this could cause older clients to be unable to connect to the server.
