[Announce] Samba 4.6.8, 4.5.14 and 4.4.16 Security Releases Available

[Arjit Gupta]

Hi Team,

Workaround for
CVE-2017-12151 :- client max protocol = NT1 and
CVE-2017-12163 :-  server min protocol = SMB2_02

are contradicting to each other.

CVE-2017-12151 impacts on SMB3 protocol but workaound suggst to use NT1.
I have below queries regarding this.

Is SMB2 protocol also impacted by CVE-2017-12151 ?
Can i use  client max protocol = SMB2 so that it does not contradict with
workaround of  CVE-2017-12163 ?
