An information leak flaw was found in the way SMB1 protocol was implemented by Samba. A malicious client could use this flaw to dump server memory contents to a file on the samba share or to a shared printer, though the exact area of server memory cannot be controlled by the attacker.
Mitigation
As this is an SMB1-only vulnerability, it can be avoided by setting the server to only use SMB2 via adding:
server min protocol = SMB2_02
to the [global] section of your smb.conf and restarting smbd.
