A man-in-the-middle vulnerability was found in the way "connection
signing" was implemented by Samba. A remote attacker could use this flaw
to downgrade an existing Samba client connection and force the use of
plain text. (CVE-2015-5296)

A missing access control flaw was found in Samba. A remote, authenticated
attacker could use this flaw to view the current snapshot on a Samba
share, despite not having DIRECTORY_LIST access rights. (CVE-2015-5299)

An access flaw was found in the way Samba verified symbolic links when
creating new files on a Samba share. A remote attacker could exploit this
flaw to gain access to files outside of Samba's share path.
