502 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.9
503 June 23, 2014
504 =============================
507 This is a security release in order to address
508 CVE-2014-0244 (Denial of service - CPU loop) and
509 CVE-2014-3493 (Denial of service - Server crash/memory corruption).
511 o CVE-2014-0244:
512 All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a denial of
513 service on the nmbd NetBIOS name services daemon. A malformed packet
514 can cause the nmbd server to loop the CPU and prevent any further
515 NetBIOS name service.
517 This flaw is not exploitable beyond causing the code to loop expending
518 CPU resources.
520 o CVE-2014-3493:
521 All current released versions of Samba are affected by a denial of service
522 crash involving overwriting memory on an authenticated connection to the
523 smbd file server.
526 Changes since 4.1.8:
527 --------------------

788 =============================
789 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.6
790 March 11, 2014
791 =============================
794 This is a security release in order to address
795 CVE-2013-4496 (Password lockout not enforced for SAMR password changes) and
796 CVE-2013-6442 (smbcacls can remove a file or directory ACL by mistake).
798 o CVE-2013-4496:
799 Samba versions 3.4.0 and above allow the administrator to implement
800 locking out Samba accounts after a number of bad password attempts.
802 However, all released versions of Samba did not implement this check for
803 password changes, such as are available over multiple SAMR and RAP
804 interfaces, allowing password guessing attacks.
806 o CVE-2013-6442:
807 Samba versions 4.0.0 and above have a flaw in the smbcacls command. If
808 smbcacls is used with the "-C|--chown name" or "-G|--chgrp name"
809 command options it will remove the existing ACL on the object being
810 modified, leaving the file or directory unprotected.
813 Changes since 4.1.5:
814 --------------------
816 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
817 * BUG 10327: CVE-2013-6442: ensure we don't lose an existing ACL when
818 setting owner or group owner.
821 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
822 * BUG 10245: CVE-2013-4496: Enforce password lockout for SAMR password
823 changes.
826 o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
827 * BUG 10245: CVE-2013-4496: Enforce password lockout for SAMR password
828 changes.

1055 =============================
1056 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.3
1057 December 9, 2013
1058 =============================
1061 This is a security release in order to address
1062 CVE-2013-4408 (DCE-RPC fragment length field is incorrectly checked) and
1063 CVE-2012-6150 (pam_winbind login without require_membership_of restrictions).
1065 o CVE-2013-4408:
1066 Samba versions 3.4.0 and above (versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.17, 3.5.0 -
1067 3.5.22, 3.6.0 - 3.6.21, 4.0.0 - 4.0.12 and including 4.1.2) are
1068 vulnerable to buffer overrun exploits in the client processing of
1069 DCE-RPC packets. This is due to incorrect checking of the DCE-RPC
1070 fragment length in the client code.
1072 This is a critical vulnerability as the DCE-RPC client code is part of
1073 the winbindd authentication and identity mapping daemon, which is
1074 commonly configured as part of many server installations (when joined
1075 to an Active Directory Domain). A malicious Active Directory Domain
1076 Controller or man-in-the-middle attacker impersonating an Active
1077 Directory Domain Controller could achieve root-level access by
1078 compromising the winbindd process.
1080 Samba server versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.17 and versions 3.5.0 - 3.5.22 are
1081 also vulnerable to a denial of service attack (server crash) due to a
1082 similar error in the server code of those versions.
1084 Samba server versions 3.6.0 and above (including all 3.6.x versions,
1085 all 4.0.x versions and 4.1.x) are not vulnerable to this problem.
1087 In addition range checks were missing on arguments returned from calls
1088 to the DCE-RPC functions LookupSids (lsa and samr), LookupNames (lsa and samr)
1089 and LookupRids (samr) which could also cause similar problems.
1091 As this was found during an internal audit of the Samba code there are
1092 no currently known exploits for this problem (as of December 9th 2013).
1094 o CVE-2012-6150:
1095 Winbind allows for the further restriction of authenticated PAM logins using
1096 the require_membership_of parameter. System administrators may specify a list
1097 of SIDs or groups for which an authenticated user must be a member of. If an
1098 authenticated user does not belong to any of the entries, then login should
1099 fail. Invalid group name entries are ignored.
1101 Samba versions 3.3.10, 3.4.3, 3.5.0 and later incorrectly allow login from
1102 authenticated users if the require_membership_of parameter specifies only
1103 invalid group names.
1105 This is a vulnerability with low impact. All require_membership_of group
1106 names must be invalid for this bug to be encountered.
1109 Changes since 4.1.2:
1110 --------------------
1112 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
1113 * BUG 10185: CVE-2013-4408: Correctly check DCE-RPC fragment length field.
1116 o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
1117 * BUG 10185: CVE-2013-4408: Correctly check DCE-RPC fragment length field.
1120 o Noel Power <noel.power@suse.com>
1121 * BUGs 10300, 10306: CVE-2012-6150: Fail authentication if user isn't
1122 member of *any* require_membership_of specified groups.

1241 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.1
1242 November 11, 2013
1243 =============================
1246 This is a security release in order to address
1247 CVE-2013-4475 (ACLs are not checked on opening an alternate
1248 data stream on a file or directory) and
1249 CVE-2013-4476 (Private key in key.pem world readable).
1251 o CVE-2013-4475:
1252 Samba versions 3.2.0 and above (all versions of 3.2.x, 3.3.x,
1253 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 4.0.x and 4.1.x) do not check the underlying
1254 file or directory ACL when opening an alternate data stream.
1256 According to the SMB1 and SMB2+ protocols the ACL on an underlying
1257 file or directory should control what access is allowed to alternate
1258 data streams that are associated with the file or directory.
1260 By default no version of Samba supports alternate data streams
1261 on files or directories.
1263 Samba can be configured to support alternate data streams by loading
1264 either one of two virtual file system modues (VFS) vfs_streams_depot or
1265 vfs_streams_xattr supplied with Samba, so this bug only affects Samba
1266 servers configured this way.
1268 To determine if your server is vulnerable, check for the strings
1269 "streams_depot" or "streams_xattr" inside your smb.conf configuration
1270 file.
1272 o CVE-2013-4476:
1273 In setups which provide ldap(s) and/or https services, the private
1274 key for SSL/TLS encryption might be world readable. This typically
1275 happens in active directory domain controller setups.
1278 Changes since 4.1.0:
1279 --------------------
1281 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
1282 * BUGs 10234 + 10229: CVE-2013-4475: Fix access check verification on stream
1283 files.
1286 o Björn Baumbach <bb@sernet.de>
1287 * BUG 10234: CVE-2013-4476: Private key in key.pem world readable.

1314 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.0
1315 October 11, 2013
1316 =============================
1319 This is is the first stable release of Samba 4.1.
1321 Samba 4.1 will be the next version of the Samba suite and includes
1322 all the technology found in both the Samba4 series and the stable 3.x
1323 series. The primary additional features over Samba 3.6 are
1324 support for the Active Directory logon protocols used by Windows 2000
1325 and above.
1327 Major enhancements in Samba 4.1.0 include:
1329 Client tools support SMB2/3
1330 ===========================
1332 Samba 4.1.0 contains the first release of our client tools
1333 and client library that work over the new protocols SMB2 or SMB3.
1334 Note that SMB3 only works either to a Samba server version 4.0.0
1335 or above, or to a Windows Server running Windows 2012 or Windows 8.
1337 The default protocol for smbclient and smbcacls is still
1338 SMB1 (the NT1 protocol dialect). An SMB2 or SMB3 connection
1339 can be selected in one of two ways. The easiest way to test
1340 the new protocol connection is to add the -mMAX_PROTOCOL
1341 command line switch to either smbclient or smbcacls.
1343 For example, to connect using SMB3 with smbclient a user
1344 would type:
1346 smbclient //server/share -Uuser%password -mSMB3
1348 Another example of connecting using SMB2 using smbcacls
1349 would be:
1351 smbcacls //server/share -Uuser%password -mSMB2 filename
1353 Note that when connecting using SMB2 or SMB3 protocols
1354 the UNIX extensions are no longer available inside the
1355 smbclient command set. This is due to UNIX extensions
1356 not yet being defined for the SMB2 or SMB3 protocols.
1358 The second way to select SMB2 or SMB3 connections is to
1359 set the "client max protocol" parameter in the [global]
1360 section of your smb.conf.
1362 Setting this parameter will cause all client connections
1363 from Samba and its client tools to offer the requested
1364 max protocol to a server on every connection request.
1366 For example, to cause all client tools (including winbindd,
1367 rpcclient, and the libsmbclient library) to attempt use SMB3
1368 by default add the line:
1370 client max protocol = SMB3
1372 to the [global] section of your smb.conf. This has not
1373 been as widely tested as the -mPROTOCOL options, but
1374 is intended to work correctly in the final release of
1375 4.1.0.
1377 Encrypted transport
1378 ===================
1380 Although Samba servers have supported encrypted transport
1381 connections using the UNIX extensions for many years,
1382 selecting SMB3 transport allows encrypted transport
1383 connections to Windows servers that support SMB3, as
1384 well as Samba servers.
1386 In order to enable this, add the "-e" option to the
1387 smbclient command line.
1389 For example, to connect to a Windows 2012 server over
1390 SMB3 and select an encrypted transport you would use
1391 the following command line:
1393 smbclient //Win2012Server/share -Uuser%password -mSMB3 -e
1396 Directory database replication (AD DC mode)
1397 ===========================================
1399 Directory replication has been reworked in order to improve the
1400 correctness and efficiency.
1401 As a net effect of it, replication with other domain controllers with
1402 a heavily modified schema is now possible (ie. Windows 2012 DCs or
1403 other Windows DC with exchange installed) and replication didn't fail
1404 anymore in such environments.
1407 Server-Side Copy Support
1408 ========================
1410 Samba 4.1.0 adds support for server-side copy operations via the SMB2
1411 FSCTL_SRV_COPYCHUNK request. Clients making use of server-side copy
1412 support, such as Windows Server 2012, should experience considerable
1413 performance improvements for file copy operations, as file data need not
1414 traverse the network.
1415 This feature is enabled by default on the smbd file server.
1418 Btrfs Filesystem Integration
1419 ============================
1421 The Btrfs VFS module provided with Samba 4.1.0 further improves the
1422 performance of server-side copy operations on shares backed by a Btrfs
1423 filesystem. It does so by allowing multiple files to share the same
1424 on-disk extents, avoiding the unnecessary duplication of source and
1425 destination file data during a server-side copy operation.
1427 This feature can be explicitly enabled on smbd shares backed by a Btrfs
1428 filesystem with the smb.conf parameter:
1429 vfs objects = btrfs
1432 REMOVED COMPONENTS
1433 ==================
1435 The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) has been removed.
1436 Details why SWAT has been removed can be found on the samba-technical mailing
1437 list:
