2 Release Notes for Samba 4.2.9
4 =============================
7 This is a security release in order to address the following CVEs:
9 o CVE-2015-7560 (Incorrect ACL get/set allowed on symlink path)
10 o CVE-2016-0771 (Out-of-bounds read in internal DNS server)
17 All versions of Samba from 3.2.0 to 4.4.0rc3 inclusive are vulnerable to
18 a malicious client overwriting the ownership of ACLs using symlinks.
20 An authenticated malicious client can use SMB1 UNIX extensions to
21 create a symlink to a file or directory, and then use non-UNIX SMB1
22 calls to overwrite the contents of the ACL on the file or directory
26 All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.4.0rc3 inclusive, when deployed as
27 an AD DC and choose to run the internal DNS server, are vulnerable to an
28 out-of-bounds read issue during DNS TXT record handling caused by users
29 with permission to modify DNS records.
31 A malicious client can upload a specially constructed DNS TXT record,
32 resulting in a remote denial-of-service attack. As long as the affected
33 TXT record remains undisturbed in the Samba database, a targeted DNS
34 query may continue to trigger this exploit.
36 While unlikely, the out-of-bounds read may bypass safety checks and
37 allow leakage of memory from the server in the form of a DNS TXT reply.
39 By default only authenticated accounts can upload DNS records,
40 as "allow dns updates = secure only" is the default.
41 Any other value would allow anonymous clients to trigger this
42 bug, which is a much higher risk.
48 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
49 * BUG 11648: CVE-2015-7560: Getting and setting Windows ACLs on symlinks can
50 change permissions on link target.
52 o Garming Sam <garming@catalyst.net.nz>
53 * BUGs 11128, 11686: CVE-2016-0771: Read of uninitialized memory DNS TXT
56 o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>

157 Release Notes for Samba 4.2.7
159 =============================
162 This is a security release in order to address the following CVEs:
164 o CVE-2015-3223 (Denial of service in Samba Active Directory
166 o CVE-2015-5252 (Insufficient symlink verification in smbd)
167 o CVE-2015-5299 (Missing access control check in shadow copy
169 o CVE-2015-5296 (Samba client requesting encryption vulnerable
171 o CVE-2015-8467 (Denial of service attack against Windows
172 Active Directory server)
173 o CVE-2015-5330 (Remote memory read in Samba LDAP server)
175 Please note that if building against a system libldb, the required
176 version has been bumped to ldb-1.1.24. This is needed to ensure
177 we build against a system ldb library that contains the fixes
178 for CVE-2015-5330 and CVE-2015-3223.
185 All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive (resp. all
186 ldb versions up to 1.1.23 inclusive) are vulnerable to
187 a denial of service attack in the samba daemon LDAP server.
189 A malicious client can send packets that cause the LDAP server in the
190 samba daemon process to become unresponsive, preventing the server
191 from servicing any other requests.
193 This flaw is not exploitable beyond causing the code to loop expending
197 All versions of Samba from 3.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive are vulnerable to
198 a bug in symlink verification, which under certain circumstances could
199 allow client access to files outside the exported share path.
201 If a Samba share is configured with a path that shares a common path
202 prefix with another directory on the file system, the smbd daemon may
203 allow the client to follow a symlink pointing to a file or directory
204 in that other directory, even if the share parameter "wide links" is
205 set to "no" (the default).
208 All versions of Samba from 3.2.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive are vulnerable to
209 a missing access control check in the vfs_shadow_copy2 module. When
210 looking for the shadow copy directory under the share path the current
211 accessing user should have DIRECTORY_LIST access rights in order to
212 view the current snapshots.
214 This was not being checked in the affected versions of Samba.
217 Versions of Samba from 3.2.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive do not ensure that
218 signing is negotiated when creating an encrypted client connection to
221 Without this a man-in-the-middle attack could downgrade the connection
222 and connect using the supplied credentials as an unsigned, unencrypted
226 Samba, operating as an AD DC, is sometimes operated in a domain with a
227 mix of Samba and Windows Active Directory Domain Controllers.
229 All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive, when deployed as
230 an AD DC in the same domain with Windows DCs, could be used to
231 override the protection against the MS15-096 / CVE-2015-2535 security
234 Prior to MS16-096 it was possible to bypass the quota of machine
235 accounts a non-administrative user could create. Pure Samba domains
236 are not impacted, as Samba does not implement the
237 SeMachineAccountPrivilege functionality to allow non-administrator
238 users to create new computer objects.
241 All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive (resp. all
242 ldb versions up to 1.1.23 inclusive) are vulnerable to
243 a remote memory read attack in the samba daemon LDAP server.
245 A malicious client can send packets that cause the LDAP server in the
246 samba daemon process to return heap memory beyond the length of the
249 This memory may contain data that the client should not be allowed to
250 see, allowing compromise of the server.
252 The memory may either be returned to the client in an error string, or
253 stored in the database by a suitabily privileged user. If untrusted
254 users can create objects in your database, please confirm that all DN
255 and name attributes are reasonable.
261 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
262 * BUG 11552: CVE-2015-8467: samdb: Match MS15-096 behaviour for
265 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
266 * BUG 11325: CVE-2015-3223: Fix LDAP \00 search expression attack DoS.
267 * BUG 11395: CVE-2015-5252: Fix insufficient symlink verification (file
268 access outside the share).
269 * BUG 11529: CVE-2015-5299: s3-shadow-copy2: Fix missing access check on
272 o Douglas Bagnall <douglas.bagnall@catalyst.net.nz>
273 * BUG 11599: CVE-2015-5330: Fix remote read memory exploit in LDB.
275 o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
276 * BUG 11536: CVE-2015-5296: Add man in the middle protection when forcing
277 smb encryption on the client side.

984 Release Notes for Samba 4.2.0
986 =============================
989 This is is the first stable release of Samba 4.2.

994 Samba User Survey 2015

999 Please take our survey. It will help us improve Samba by understanding
1000 your knowledge and needs. The survey runs until end of March 2015 and
1001 won't ask for any personal info. The full results will be shared with
1002 the Samba Team, and statistical summaries will be shared with the
1003 Samba community after the SambaXP conference (http://sambaxp.org).
1006 IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE SUPPORT END OF SAMBA 3
1007 =================================================
1009 With the final release of Samba 4.2, the last series of Samba 3 has
1010 been discontinued! People still running 3.6.x or earlier,should
1011 consider moving to a more recent and maintained version (4.0 - 4.2).
1012 One of the common misconceptions is that Samba 4.x automatically
1013 means "Active Directory only": This is wrong!
1015 Acting as an Active Directory Domain Controller is just one of the
1016 enhancements included in Samba 4.0 and later. Version 4.0 was just the
1017 next release after the 3.6 series and contains all the features of the
1018 previous ones - including the NT4-style (classic) domain support. This
1019 means you can update a Samba 3.x NT4-style PDC to 4.x, just as you've
1020 updated in the past (e.g. from 3.4.x to 3.5.x). You don't have to move
1021 your NT4-style domain to an Active Directory!
1023 And of course the possibility remains unchanged, to setup a new NT4-style
1024 PDC with Samba 4.x, like done in the past (e.g. with openLDAP backend).
1025 Active Directory support in Samba 4 is additional and does not replace
1026 any of these features. We do understand the difficulty presented by
1027 existing LDAP structures and for that reason there isn't a plan to
1028 decommission the classic PDC support. It remains tested by the continuous
1031 The code that supports the classic Domain Controller is also the same
1032 code that supports the internal 'Domain' of standalone servers and
1033 Domain Member Servers. This means that we still use this code, even
1034 when not acting as an AD Domain Controller. It is also the basis for
1035 some of the features of FreeIPA and so it gets development attention
1036 from that direction as well.
1042 Read the "Winbindd/Netlogon improvements" section (below) carefully!
1048 Transparent File Compression
1049 ============================
1051 Samba 4.2.0 adds support for the manipulation of file and folder
1052 compression flags on the Btrfs filesystem.
1053 With the Btrfs Samba VFS module enabled, SMB2+ compression flags can
1054 be set remotely from the Windows Explorer File->Properties->Advanced
1055 dialog. Files flagged for compression are transparently compressed
1056 and uncompressed when accessed or modified.
1058 Previous File Versions with Snapper
1059 ===================================
1061 The newly added Snapper VFS module exposes snapshots managed by
1062 Snapper for use by Samba. This provides the ability for remote
1063 clients to access shadow-copies via Windows Explorer using the
1064 "previous versions" dialog.
1066 Winbindd/Netlogon improvements
1067 ==============================
1069 The whole concept of maintaining the netlogon secure channel
1070 to (other) domain controllers was rewritten in order to maintain
1071 global state in a netlogon_creds_cli.tdb. This is the proper fix
1072 for a large number of bugs:
1074 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6563
1075 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7944
1076 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7945
1077 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7568
1078 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8599
1080 In addition a strong session key is now required by default,
1081 which means that communication to older servers or clients
1082 might be rejected by default.
1084 For the client side we have the following new options:
1085 "require strong key" (yes by default), "reject md5 servers" (no by default).
1086 E.g. for Samba 3.0.37 you need "require strong key = no" and
1087 for NT4 DCs you need "require strong key = no" and "client NTLMv2 auth = no",
1089 On the server side (as domain controller) we have the following new options:
1090 "allow nt4 crypto" (no by default), "reject md5 client" (no by default).
1091 E.g. in order to allow Samba < 3.0.27 or NT4 members to work
1092 you need "allow nt4 crypto = yes"
1094 winbindd does not list group memberships for display purposes
1095 (e.g. getent group <domain\<group>) anymore by default.
1096 The new default is "winbind expand groups = 0" now,
1097 the reason for this is the same as for "winbind enum users = no"
1098 and "winbind enum groups = no". Providing this information is not always
1099 reliably possible, e.g. if there are trusted domains.
1101 Please consult the smb.conf manpage for more details on these new options.
1103 Winbindd use on the Samba AD DC
1104 ===============================
1106 Winbindd is now used on the Samba AD DC by default, replacing the
1107 partial rewrite used for winbind operations in Samba 4.0 and 4.1.
1109 This allows more code to be shared, more options to be honoured, and
1110 paves the way for support for trusted domains in the AD DC.
1112 If required the old internal winbind can be activated by setting
1113 'server services = +winbind -winbindd'. Upgrading users with a server
1114 services parameter specified should ensure they change 'winbind' to
1115 'winbindd' to obtain the new functionality.
1117 The 'samba' binary still manages the starting of this service, there
1118 is no need to start the winbindd binary manually.
1120 Winbind now requires secured connections
1121 ========================================
1123 To improve protection against rogue domain controllers we now require
1124 that when we connect to an AD DC in our forest, that the connection be
1125 signed using SMB Signing. Set 'client signing = off' in the smb.conf
1128 Also and DCE/RPC pipes must be sealed, set 'require strong key =
1129 false' and 'winbind sealed pipes = false' to disable.
1131 Finally, the default for 'client ldap sasl wrapping' has been set to
1132 'sign', to ensure the integrity of LDAP connections. Set 'client ldap
1133 sasl wrapping = plain' to disable.
1135 Larger IO sizes for SMB2/3 by default
1136 =====================================
1138 The default values for "smb2 max read", "smb2 max write" and "smb2 max trans"
1139 have been changed to 8388608 (8MiB) in order to match the default of
1145 The SMB2 protocol allows clients to aggressively cache files
1146 locally above and beyond the caching allowed by SMB1 and SMB2 oplocks.
1148 Called SMB2 leases, this can greatly reduce traffic on an SMB2
1149 connection. Samba 4.2 now implements SMB2 leases.
1151 It can be turned on by setting the parameter "smb2 leases = yes"
1152 in the [global] section of your smb.conf. This parameter is set
1153 to off by default until the SMB2 leasing code is declared fully stable.
1155 Improved DCERPC man in the middle detection
1156 ===========================================
1158 The DCERPC header signing has been implemented
1159 in addition to the dcerpc_sec_verification_trailer
1162 Overhauled "net idmap" command
1163 ==============================
1165 The command line interface of the "net idmap" command has been
1166 made systematic, and subcommands for reading and writing the autorid idmap
1167 database have been added. Note that the writing commands should be
1168 used with great care. See the net(8) manual page for details.
1173 The tdb library, our core mechanism to store Samba-specific data on disk and
1174 share it between processes, has been improved to support process shared robust
1175 mutexes on Linux. These mutexes are available on Linux and Solaris and
1176 significantly reduce the overhead involved with tdb. To enable mutexes for
1179 dbwrap_tdb_mutexes:* = yes
1181 in the [global] section of your smb.conf.
1183 Tdb file space management has also been made more efficient. This
1184 will lead to smaller and less fragmented databases.
1186 Messaging improvements
1187 ======================
1189 Our internal messaging subsystem, used for example for things like oplock
1190 break messages between smbds or setting a process debug level dynamically, has
1191 been rewritten to use unix domain datagram messages.
1196 Samba's file server clustering component CTDB is now integrated in the
1197 Samba tree. This avoids the confusion of compatibility of Samba and CTDB
1198 versions as existed previously.
1200 To build the Samba file server with cluster support, use the configure
1201 command line option --with-cluster-support. This will build clustered
1202 file server against the in-tree CTDB and will also build CTDB.
1203 Building clustered samba with previous versions of CTDB is no longer
1206 Samba Registry Editor
1207 =====================
1209 The utitlity to browse the samba registry has been overhauled by our Google
1210 Summer of Code student Chris Davis. Now samba-regedit has a
1211 Midnight-Commander-like theme and UI experience. You can browse keys and edit
1212 the diffent value types. For a data value type a hexeditor has been
1215 Bad Password Lockout in the AD DC
1216 =================================
1218 Samba's AD DC now implements bad password lockout (on a per-DC basis).
1220 That is, incorrect password attempts are tracked, and accounts locked
1221 out if too many bad passwords are submitted. There is also a grace
1222 period of 60 minutes on the previous password when used for NTLM
1223 authentication (matching Windows 2003 SP1: https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/906305).
1225 The relevant settings can be seen using 'samba-tool domain
1226 passwordsettings show' (the new settings being highlighted):
1228 Password informations for domain 'DC=samba,DC=example,DC=com'
1230 Password complexity: on
1231 Store plaintext passwords: off
1232 Password history length: 24
1233 Minimum password length: 7
1234 Minimum password age (days): 1
1235 Maximum password age (days): 42
1236 * Account lockout duration (mins): 30 *
1237 * Account lockout threshold (attempts): 0 *
1238 * Reset account lockout after (mins): 30 *
1240 These values can be set using 'samba-tool domain passwordsettings set'.
1242 Correct defaults in the smb.conf manpages
1243 =========================================
1245 The default values for smb.conf parameters are now correctly specified
1246 in the smb.conf manpage, even when they refer to build-time specified
1247 paths. Provided Samba is built on a system with the right tools
1248 (xsltproc in particular) required to generate our man pages, then
1249 these will be built with the exact same embedded paths as used by the
1250 configuration parser at runtime. Additionally, the default values
1251 read from the smb.conf manpage are checked by our test suite to match
1252 the values seen in testparm and used by the running binaries.
1254 Consistent behaviour between samba-tool testparm and testparm
1255 =============================================================
1257 With the exception of the registry backend, which remains only
1258 available in the file server, the behaviour of the smb.conf parser and
1259 the tools 'samba-tool testparm' and 'testparm' is now consistent,
1260 particularly with regard to default values. Except with regard to
1261 registry shares, it is no longer needed to use one tool on the AD
1262 DC, and another on the file server.
1267 A VFS module for basic WORM (Write once read many) support has been
1268 added. It allows an additional layer on top of a Samba share, that provides
1269 a basic set of WORM functionality on the client side, to control the
1270 writeability of files and folders.
1272 As the module is simply an additional layer, share access and permissions
1273 work like expected - only WORM functionality is added on top. Removing the
1274 module from the share configuration, removes this layer again. The
1275 filesystem ACLs are not affected in any way from the module and treated
1278 The module does not provide complete WORM functions, like some archiving
1279 products do! It is not audit-proof, because the WORM function is only
1280 available on the client side, when accessing a share through SMB! If
1281 the same folder is shared by other services like NFS, the access only
1282 depends on the underlying filesystem ACLs. Equally if you access the
1283 content directly on the server.
1285 For additional information, see
1286 https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/VFS/vfs_worm
1288 vfs_fruit, a VFS module for OS X clients
1289 ========================================
1291 A new VFS module that provides enhanced compatibility with Apple SMB
1292 clients and interoperability with a Netatalk 3 AFP fileserver.
1294 The module features enhanced performance with reliable named streams
1295 support, interoperability with special characters commonly used by OS
1296 X client (eg '*', '/'), integrated file locking and Mac metadata
1297 access with Netatalk 3 and enhanced performance by implementing
1298 Apple's SMB2 extension codenamed "AAPL".
1300 The modules behaviour is fully configurable, please refer to the

1303 smbclient archival improvements
1304 ===============================
1306 Archive creation and extraction support in smbclient has been rewritten
1307 to use libarchive. This fixes a number of outstanding bugs in Samba's
1308 previous custom tar implementation and also adds support for the
1309 extraction of zipped archives.
1310 smbclient archive support can be enabled or disabled at build time with
1311 corresponding --with[out]-libarchive configure parameters.
