Description

The version of Samba on the remote host is 4.x prior to 4.0.24, 4.1.x prior to 4.1.16, or 4.2.x prior to 4.2rc4 and is affected by a flaw in the Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) component due to a failure to implement a required check on the 'UF_SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT' bit of the 'userAccountControl' attributes.
