samba: RC4/HMAC-MD5 NetLogon Secure Channel is weak and should be avoided

A flaw was found in samba. The Netlogon RPC implementations may use the rc4-hmac encryption algorithm, which is considered weak and should be avoided even if the client supports more modern encryption types.

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : fetchmail (MDKSA-2007:105)

The APOP functionality in fetchmail's POP3 client implementation was validating the APOP challenge too lightly, accepting random garbage as a POP3 server's APOP challenge, rather than insisting it conform to RFC-822 specifications. As a result of this flaw, it made man-in-the-middle attacks easie...
