[Samba] Latest Ubuntu 16.04 samba upgrade breaks external ldap auth (CVE-2020-10704)

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai Remy, 

Yes your right, but .. 

Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS Xenial Xerus ..
February 28, 2019  Release
April 2021      EoSS  and  April 2024  EOL

After  april 2021..  Extended Security Maintenance..  ESM.. 
Extended Security Maintenance is a paid option through Ubuntu Advantage
 to get extended support and security updates for select server packages.

Its just what you want. 

My advice is the same, update to 18.04 or 20.04 
And i would say, if you are upgrading now, goto 20.04. 

The more versions appart ( samba and windows ) the harder compatibily will be. 
The more time it cost to get things right, why waist that precious time in old stuff.

Greetz, 

Louis
