2 Release Notes for Samba 3.4.7
3 March 8, 2010
4 =============================
7 This is a security release in order to address CVE-2010-0728.
10 o CVE-2010-0728:
11 In Samba releases 3.5.0, 3.4.6 and 3.3.11, new code
12 was added to fix a problem with Linux asynchronous IO handling.
13 This code introduced a bad security flaw on Linux platforms if the
14 binaries were built on Linux platforms with libcap support.
15 The flaw caused all smbd processes to inherit CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
16 capabilities, allowing all file system access to be allowed
17 even when permissions should have denied access.
20 Changes since 3.5.0
21 -------------------
24 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
25 * BUG 7222: Fix for CVE-2010-0728.

483 o CVE-2009-2813:
484 In all versions of Samba later than 3.0.11, connecting to the home

490 If mount.cifs is installed as a setuid program, a user can pass it a

492 then use the --verbose option to view the first line of that file.
493 All known Samba versions are affected.
495 o CVE-2009-2906:
496 Specially crafted SMB requests on authenticated SMB connections can
497 send smbd into a 100% CPU loop, causing a DoS on the Samba server.

679 Release Notes for Samba 3.4.0
680 July 3, 2009
681 =============================
684 This is the first stable release of Samba 3.4.
687 Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
688 ------------------------------------------
690 Configuration changes:
691 o The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'!
693 General changes:
694 o Samba4 and Samba3 sources are included in the tarball
696 Authentication Changes:
697 o Changed the way smbd handles untrusted domain names given during user
698 authentication.
700 Printing Changes:
701 o Various fixes including printer change notificiation for Samba spoolss
702 print servers.
704 Internal changes:
705 o The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog
706 and spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
707 o Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library.
708 o The code has been cleaned up and the major basic interfaces are shared with
709 Samba4 now.
710 o An asynchronous API has been added.
713 Configuration changes
714 =====================
716 !!! ATTENTION !!!
717 The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'! That breaks existing
718 setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration! Please use
719 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the 'smbpasswd'
720 backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g. 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e
721 tdbsam'.
723 The 'tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user settings
724 like 'profile path' or 'home directory' and there are some commands which do not
725 work with the 'smbpasswd' backend at all.
728 General Changes
729 ===============
731 On the way towards a standalone Samba AD domain controller, Samba3 and Samba4
732 branches can be built as "merged" build. That's why Samba3 and Samba4 sources
733 are included in the tarball. The merged build is possible in Samba 3.4.0, but
734 disabled by default. To learn more about the merged build,
735 please see http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Franky.
737 According to this one, there is no "source" directory included in the tarball at
738 all. Samba3 sources are located in "source3", Samba4 sources are located in
739 "source4". The libraries have been moved to the toplevel directory.
741 To build plain Samba3, please change to "source3" and start the build as usual.
742 To build Samba4 as well, please use the "--enable-merged-build" configure
743 option.
746 Authentication Changes
747 ======================
749 Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
750 untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
751 domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
752 using that DOMAIN\user name. This differed from how a Windows member server
753 would behave. Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name. In
754 the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user. In the case
755 where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
756 Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
757 with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
759 While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
760 on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification. A new
761 parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
762 behavior.
765 Printing Changes
766 ================
768 The spoolss subsystem was replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL. That fixes
769 several printing issues including printer change notificiation on Samba print
770 servers and will stabilize the printing functionality generally.
771 The support for spoolss printing with Windows Vista has been improved.
774 Internal Changes
775 ================
777 The remaining hand-marshalled DCE/RPC services (ntsvcs, svcctl, eventlog and
778 spoolss) were replaced by autogenerated code based on PIDL.
779 So Günther Deschner finally corrected one of the biggest mistakes in the
780 development of Samba: Hand-marshalled RPC stubs.
782 Thanks a lot! :-)
784 Samba3 and Samba4 do now share a common tevent library for fd and timer events.
786 The code has been cleaned up and Samba3 and Samba4 do share the major basic
787 interfaces now. That is why the libraries were moved to the toplevel directory.
788 That is one of the first steps to share code and minimize the gap between
789 these two versions.
791 An asynchronous API has been added.
