2 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.16
4 ==============================
7 This is a security release in order to address CVE-2014-8143 (Elevation
8 of privilege to Active Directory Domain Controller).
11 Samba's AD DC allows the administrator to delegate
12 creation of user or computer accounts to specific users or groups.
14 However, all released versions of Samba's AD DC did not implement the
15 additional required check on the UF_SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT bit in the
16 userAccountControl attributes.

921 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.6
923 =============================
926 This is a security release in order to address
927 CVE-2013-4496 (Password lockout not enforced for SAMR password changes) and
928 CVE-2013-6442 (smbcacls can remove a file or directory ACL by mistake).
931 Samba versions 3.4.0 and above allow the administrator to implement
932 locking out Samba accounts after a number of bad password attempts.
934 However, all released versions of Samba did not implement this check for
935 password changes, such as are available over multiple SAMR and RAP
936 interfaces, allowing password guessing attacks.
939 Samba versions 4.0.0 and above have a flaw in the smbcacls command. If
940 smbcacls is used with the "-C|--chown name" or "-G|--chgrp name"
941 command options it will remove the existing ACL on the object being
942 modified, leaving the file or directory unprotected.
948 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>

1188 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.3
1190 =============================
1193 This is a security release in order to address
1194 CVE-2013-4408 (DCE-RPC fragment length field is incorrectly checked) and
1195 CVE-2012-6150 (pam_winbind login without require_membership_of restrictions).
1198 Samba versions 3.4.0 and above (versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.17, 3.5.0 -
1199 3.5.22, 3.6.0 - 3.6.21, 4.0.0 - 4.0.12 and including 4.1.2) are
1200 vulnerable to buffer overrun exploits in the client processing of
1201 DCE-RPC packets. This is due to incorrect checking of the DCE-RPC
1202 fragment length in the client code.
1204 This is a critical vulnerability as the DCE-RPC client code is part of
1205 the winbindd authentication and identity mapping daemon, which is
1206 commonly configured as part of many server installations (when joined
1207 to an Active Directory Domain). A malicious Active Directory Domain
1208 Controller or man-in-the-middle attacker impersonating an Active
1209 Directory Domain Controller could achieve root-level access by
1210 compromising the winbindd process.
1212 Samba server versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.17 and versions 3.5.0 - 3.5.22 are
1213 also vulnerable to a denial of service attack (server crash) due to a
1214 similar error in the server code of those versions.
1216 Samba server versions 3.6.0 and above (including all 3.6.x versions,
1217 all 4.0.x versions and 4.1.x) are not vulnerable to this problem.
1219 In addition range checks were missing on arguments returned from calls
1220 to the DCE-RPC functions LookupSids (lsa and samr), LookupNames (lsa and samr)
1221 and LookupRids (samr) which could also cause similar problems.
1223 As this was found during an internal audit of the Samba code there are
1224 no currently known exploits for this problem (as of December 9th 2013).
1227 Winbind allows for the further restriction of authenticated PAM logins using
1228 the require_membership_of parameter. System administrators may specify a list
1229 of SIDs or groups for which an authenticated user must be a member of. If an
1230 authenticated user does not belong to any of the entries, then login should
1231 fail. Invalid group name entries are ignored.
1233 Samba versions 3.3.10, 3.4.3, 3.5.0 and later incorrectly allow login from
1234 authenticated users if the require_membership_of parameter specifies only
1235 invalid group names.
1237 This is a vulnerability with low impact. All require_membership_of group
1238 names must be invalid for this bug to be encountered.
1241 Changes since 4.1.2:
1242 --------------------

1373 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.1
1375 =============================
1378 This is a security release in order to address
1379 CVE-2013-4475 (ACLs are not checked on opening an alternate
1380 data stream on a file or directory) and
1381 CVE-2013-4476 (Private key in key.pem world readable).
1384 Samba versions 3.2.0 and above (all versions of 3.2.x, 3.3.x,
1385 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 4.0.x and 4.1.x) do not check the underlying
1386 file or directory ACL when opening an alternate data stream.
1388 According to the SMB1 and SMB2+ protocols the ACL on an underlying
1389 file or directory should control what access is allowed to alternate
1390 data streams that are associated with the file or directory.
1392 By default no version of Samba supports alternate data streams
1393 on files or directories.
1395 Samba can be configured to support alternate data streams by loading
1396 either one of two virtual file system modues (VFS) vfs_streams_depot or
1397 vfs_streams_xattr supplied with Samba, so this bug only affects Samba
1398 servers configured this way.
1400 To determine if your server is vulnerable, check for the strings
1401 "streams_depot" or "streams_xattr" inside your smb.conf configuration
1405 In setups which provide ldap(s) and/or https services, the private
1406 key for SSL/TLS encryption might be world readable. This typically
1407 happens in active directory domain controller setups.

1446 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.0
1448 =============================
1451 This is is the first stable release of Samba 4.1.
1453 Samba 4.1 will be the next version of the Samba suite and includes
1454 all the technology found in both the Samba4 series and the stable 3.x
1455 series. The primary additional features over Samba 3.6 are
1456 support for the Active Directory logon protocols used by Windows 2000
1459 Major enhancements in Samba 4.1.0 include:
1461 Client tools support SMB2/3
1462 ===========================
1464 Samba 4.1.0 contains the first release of our client tools
1465 and client library that work over the new protocols SMB2 or SMB3.
1466 Note that SMB3 only works either to a Samba server version 4.0.0
1467 or above, or to a Windows Server running Windows 2012 or Windows 8.
1469 The default protocol for smbclient and smbcacls is still
1470 SMB1 (the NT1 protocol dialect). An SMB2 or SMB3 connection
1471 can be selected in one of two ways. The easiest way to test
1472 the new protocol connection is to add the -mMAX_PROTOCOL
1473 command line switch to either smbclient or smbcacls.
1475 For example, to connect using SMB3 with smbclient a user
1478 smbclient //server/share -Uuser%password -mSMB3
1480 Another example of connecting using SMB2 using smbcacls
1483 smbcacls //server/share -Uuser%password -mSMB2 filename
1485 Note that when connecting using SMB2 or SMB3 protocols
1486 the UNIX extensions are no longer available inside the
1487 smbclient command set. This is due to UNIX extensions
1488 not yet being defined for the SMB2 or SMB3 protocols.
1490 The second way to select SMB2 or SMB3 connections is to
1491 set the "client max protocol" parameter in the [global]
1492 section of your smb.conf.
1494 Setting this parameter will cause all client connections
1495 from Samba and its client tools to offer the requested
1496 max protocol to a server on every connection request.
1498 For example, to cause all client tools (including winbindd,
1499 rpcclient, and the libsmbclient library) to attempt use SMB3
1500 by default add the line:
1502 client max protocol = SMB3
1504 to the [global] section of your smb.conf. This has not
1505 been as widely tested as the -mPROTOCOL options, but
1506 is intended to work correctly in the final release of
1512 Although Samba servers have supported encrypted transport
1513 connections using the UNIX extensions for many years,
1514 selecting SMB3 transport allows encrypted transport
1515 connections to Windows servers that support SMB3, as
1516 well as Samba servers.
1518 In order to enable this, add the "-e" option to the
1519 smbclient command line.
1521 For example, to connect to a Windows 2012 server over
1522 SMB3 and select an encrypted transport you would use
1523 the following command line:
1525 smbclient //Win2012Server/share -Uuser%password -mSMB3 -e
1528 Directory database replication (AD DC mode)
1529 ===========================================
1531 Directory replication has been reworked in order to improve the
1532 correctness and efficiency.
1533 As a net effect of it, replication with other domain controllers with
1534 a heavily modified schema is now possible (ie. Windows 2012 DCs or
1535 other Windows DC with exchange installed) and replication didn't fail
1536 anymore in such environments.
1539 Server-Side Copy Support
1540 ========================
1542 Samba 4.1.0 adds support for server-side copy operations via the SMB2
1543 FSCTL_SRV_COPYCHUNK request. Clients making use of server-side copy
1544 support, such as Windows Server 2012, should experience considerable
1545 performance improvements for file copy operations, as file data need not
1546 traverse the network.
1547 This feature is enabled by default on the smbd file server.
1550 Btrfs Filesystem Integration
1551 ============================
1553 The Btrfs VFS module provided with Samba 4.1.0 further improves the
1554 performance of server-side copy operations on shares backed by a Btrfs
1555 filesystem. It does so by allowing multiple files to share the same
1556 on-disk extents, avoiding the unnecessary duplication of source and
1557 destination file data during a server-side copy operation.
1559 This feature can be explicitly enabled on smbd shares backed by a Btrfs
1560 filesystem with the smb.conf parameter:
1567 The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) has been removed.
1568 Details why SWAT has been removed can be found on the samba-technical mailing
