This bug can be avoided by + the server sending no security blob in the SMB_COM_NEGOTIATE + response. This forces the client to send an initial GSS init_sec_context + blob under all circumstances which works around the bug in Microsoft's + code. + + As a result of the SMB 1.x bug, all attempts to reconnect fail due to + SMB connection resets.
