>===========================================================
>== Subject:     RC4/HMAC-MD5 NetLogon Secure Channel is weak and should be avoided
>==
>== CVE ID#:     CVE-2022-38023
>==
>== Versions:    All versions of Samba
>==
>== Summary:     The "RC4" protection of the NetLogon Secure channel uses the
>==              same algorithms as rc4-hmac cryptography in Kerberos,
>==              and so must also be assumed to be weak.

>Description

>
>This is Samba's response to Microsoft's CVE-2022-38023[1][2].
>
>Following RFC8429 and as we are assuming for CVE-2022-3938, rc4-hmac
>(aslo known as arcfour-hmac-md5) cryptography in Kerberos is weak,
>then it follows that the RC4 mode in the NETLOGON Secure Channel
>(DCE/RPC bulk encryption) is also weak, as they are the same cipher
>(essentially).
>
>Therefore we must disable this cipher.  
>
>In this patch we achive this by setting 'reject md5 clients = yes' and
>'reject md5 servers = yes' by default.
>
>Thankfully this cipher is unused by most modern member servers,
>including Windows 8 / Windows 2008R2 and later, however public
>documentation suggests[1] that NetApp ONTAP still uses RC4 (HMAC-MD5).
>
>The following smb.conf:
>
>   reject md5 clients = yes
>   server reject md5 schannel:triceratops$ = no
>   server reject md5 schannel:greywacke$ = no
>
>will allow only "triceratops$" and "greywacke$" to use RC4 (HMAC-MD5)
>crypography.
>
>Additionally we extend default to requiring a full encrypted NETLOGON
>secure channel.
>
>Encryption of the secure channel not only provides overall privacy
>(particularly against attacks on the individually encrypted elements
>within the NETLOGON protocol), it also strengthens the RC4 (HMAC-MD5)
>cipher.
>
>Clients that do not support NETLOGON Secure Channel encryption can be
>exempted in a similar way.  
>
>The following smb.conf:
>
>   server schannel require seal = yes
>   server schannel require seal:triceratops$ = no
>   server schannel require seal:greywacke$ = no
>
>will allow only "triceratops$" and "greywacke$" to avoid encrypted
>schannel and operate with signing-only schannel.

>Workaround and notes
>====================
>
>Setting 'reject md5 clients' (on DCs) and 'reject md5 servers' (on
>member servers) will avoid this vulnerable protocol.  Regarding the
>encryption requirement, thankfully Samba addressed SamLogon NTLM
>session key disclosure issue in CVE-2016-2111.
>
>On the AD DC with JSON audit logs, we can find domain member servers
>that use AES (HMAC-SHA256) vs RC4 (HMAC-MD5) via the passwordType
>element.
