✅ Remediation
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 After installing this update, the smb service will be restarted automatically. Workaround: Ensure the following [global] smb.conf parameters are set to their default values as shown below: ~~~ client lanman auth = no client NTLMv2 auth = yes client plaintext auth = no client min protocol = SMB2_02 ~~~ Or use the '-k' command line option only without the -U option, which will make use of an existing krb5 ccache. Workaround: Setting "gensec:require_pac=true" in the smb.conf makes, due to a cache prime in winbind, the DOMAIN\user lookup succeed, provided nss_winbind is in use, 'winbind use default domain = no' (the default) and no error paths are hit. It would be prudent to pre-create disabled users in Active Directory matching on all privileged names not held in Active Directory, eg ~~~ samba-tool user add root -H ldap://$SERVER -U$USERNAME%$PASSWORD --random-password samba-tool user add ubuntu -H ldap://$SERVER -U$USERNAME%$PASSWORD --random-password ~~~ (repeat for eg all system users under 1000 in /etc/passwd or special to any other AD-connected services, eg perhaps "admin" for a web-app)
