==========================
==========================
========================

Summary:
Samba could be tricked into connecting to impersonated servers.

in SMB2/3 client connections. A remote attacker could use this issue to
disable client signing and impersonate servers by performing a man in the=
middle attack.
Samba has been updated to 4.3.11 in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS=

In addition to the security fix, the updated packages contain bug fixes,
