47 Release Notes for Samba 3.4.7
48 March 8, 2010
49 =============================
52 This is a security release in order to address CVE-2010-0728.
55 o CVE-2010-0728:
56 In Samba releases 3.5.0, 3.4.6 and 3.3.11, new code
57 was added to fix a problem with Linux asynchronous IO handling.
58 This code introduced a bad security flaw on Linux platforms if the
59 binaries were built on Linux platforms with libcap support.
60 The flaw caused all smbd processes to inherit CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
61 capabilities, allowing all file system access to be allowed
62 even when permissions should have denied access.
65 Changes since 3.4.6

526 and CVE-2009-2906.
528 o CVE-2009-2813:
529 In all versions of Samba later than 3.0.11, connecting to the home
530 share of a user will use the root of the filesystem
531 as the home directory if this user is misconfigured to have
532 an empty home directory in /etc/passwd.
534 o CVE-2009-2948:
535 If mount.cifs is installed as a setuid program, a user can pass it a
536 credential or password path to which he or she does not have access and
537 then use the --verbose option to view the first line of that file.
538 All known Samba versions are affected.
540 o CVE-2009-2906:
541 Specially crafted SMB requests on authenticated SMB connections can
542 send smbd into a 100% CPU loop, causing a DoS on the Samba server.

724 Release Notes for Samba 3.4.0
725 July 3, 2009
726 =============================
729 This is the first stable release of Samba 3.4.
732 Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
733 ------------------------------------------
735 Configuration changes:
736 o The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'!
738 General changes:
739 o Samba4 and Samba3 sources are included in the tarball
741 Authentication Changes:
742 o Changed the way smbd handles untrusted domain names given during user
743 authentication.
745 Printing Changes:
746 o Various fixes including printer change notificiation for Samba spoolss
747 print servers.
749 Internal changes:
750 o The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog
751 and spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
752 o Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library.
753 o The code has been cleaned up and the major basic interfaces are shared with
754 Samba4 now.
755 o An asynchronous API has been added.
758 Configuration changes
759 =====================
761 !!! ATTENTION !!!
762 The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'! That breaks existing
763 setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration! Please use
764 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the 'smbpasswd'
765 backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g. 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e
766 tdbsam'.
768 The 'tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user settings
769 like 'profile path' or 'home directory' and there are some commands which do not
770 work with the 'smbpasswd' backend at all.
773 General Changes
774 ===============
776 On the way towards a standalone Samba AD domain controller, Samba3 and Samba4
777 branches can be built as "merged" build. That's why Samba3 and Samba4 sources
778 are included in the tarball. The merged build is possible in Samba 3.4.0, but
779 disabled by default. To learn more about the merged build,
780 please see http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Franky.
782 According to this one, there is no "source" directory included in the tarball at
783 all. Samba3 sources are located in "source3", Samba4 sources are located in
784 "source4". The libraries have been moved to the toplevel directory.
786 To build plain Samba3, please change to "source3" and start the build as usual.
787 To build Samba4 as well, please use the "--enable-merged-build" configure
788 option.
791 Authentication Changes
792 ======================
794 Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
795 untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
796 domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
797 using that DOMAIN\user name. This differed from how a Windows member server
798 would behave. Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name. In
799 the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user. In the case
800 where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
801 Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
802 with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
804 While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
805 on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification. A new
806 parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
807 behavior.
810 Printing Changes
811 ================
813 The spoolss subsystem was replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL. That fixes
814 several printing issues including printer change notificiation on Samba print
815 servers and will stabilize the printing functionality generally.
816 The support for spoolss printing with Windows Vista has been improved.
819 Internal Changes
820 ================
822 The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog and
823 spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
824 So Günther Deschner finally corrected one of the biggest mistakes in the
825 development of Samba: Hand-marshalled RPC stubs.
827 Thanks a lot! :-)
829 Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library for fd and timer events.
831 The code has been cleaned up and Samba3 and Samba4 do share the major basic
832 interfaces now. That is why the libraries were moved to the toplevel directory.
833 That is one of the first steps to share code and minimize the gap between
834 these two versions.
836 An asynchronous API has been added.
