CVE-2016-2115
Samba 3.x and 4.x before 4.2.11, 4.3.x before 4.3.8, and 4.4.x before 4.4.2 does not require SMB signing within a DCERPC session over ncacn_np, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SMB clients by modifying the client-server data stream.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 10.2%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
