43 Release Notes for Samba 3.6.12
44 January 30, 2013
45 ==============================
48 This is a security release in order to address
49 CVE-2013-0213 (Clickjacking issue in SWAT) and
50 CVE-2013-0214 (Potential XSRF in SWAT).
52 o CVE-2013-0213:
53 All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to clickjacking in the
54 Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). When the SWAT pages are integrated into
55 a malicious web page via a frame or iframe and then overlaid by other content,
56 an attacker could trick an administrator to potentially change Samba settings.
58 In order to be vulnerable, SWAT must have been installed and enabled
59 either as a standalone server launched from inetd or xinetd, or as a
60 CGI plugin to Apache. If SWAT has not been installed or enabled (which
61 is the default install state for Samba) this advisory can be ignored.
63 o CVE-2013-0214:
64 All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a cross-site
65 request forgery in the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). By guessing a
66 user's password and then tricking a user who is authenticated with SWAT into
67 clicking a manipulated URL on a different web page, it is possible to manipulate
68 SWAT.
70 In order to be vulnerable, the attacker needs to know the victim's password.
71 Additionally SWAT must have been installed and enabled either as a standalone
72 server launched from inetd or xinetd, or as a CGI plugin to Apache. If SWAT has
73 not been installed or enabled (which is the default install state for Samba)
74 this advisory can be ignored.
77 Changes since 3.6.11:

80 o Kai Blin <kai@samba.org>
81 * BUG 9576: CVE-2013-0213: Fix clickjacking issue in SWAT.
82 * BUG 9577: CVE-2013-0214: Fix potential XSRF in SWAT.

1266 Release Notes for Samba 3.6.0
1267 August 9, 2011
1268 =============================
1271 This is the first release of Samba 3.6.0.
1273 Major enhancements in Samba 3.6.0 include:
1276 Changed security defaults
1277 -------------------------
1279 Samba 3.6 has adopted a number of improved security defaults that will
1280 impact on existing users of Samba.
1282 client ntlmv2 auth = yes
1283 client use spnego principal = no
1284 send spnego principal = no
1286 The impact of 'client ntlmv2 auth = yes' is that by default we will not
1287 use NTLM authentication as a client. This applies to the Samba client
1288 tools such as smbclient and winbind, but does not change the separately
1289 released in-kernel CIFS client. To re-enable the poorer NTLM encryption
1290 set '--option=clientusentlmv2auth=no' on your smbclient command line, or
1291 set 'client ntlmv2 auth = no' in your smb.conf
1293 The impact of 'client use spnego principal = no' is that Samba will
1294 use CIFS/hostname to obtain a kerberos ticket, acting more like
1295 Windows when using Kerberos against a CIFS server in smbclient,
1296 winbind and other Samba client tools. This will change which servers
1297 we will successfully negotiate kerberos connections to. This is due
1298 to Samba no longer trusting a server-provided hint which is not
1299 available from Windows 2008 or later. For correct operation with all
1300 clients, all aliases for a server should be recorded as a as a
1301 servicePrincipalName on the server's record in AD. (For this reason,
1302 this behavior change and parameter was also made in Samba 3.5.9)
1304 The impact of 'send spnego principal = no' is to match Windows 2008 and
1305 not to send this principal, making existing clients give more consistent
1306 behaviour (more likely to fall back to NTLMSSP) between Samba and
1307 Windows 2008, and between Windows versions that did and no longer use
1308 this insecure hint.
1311 SMB2 support
1312 ------------
1314 SMB2 support in 3.6.0 is fully functional (with one omission),
1315 and can be enabled by setting:
1317 max protocol = SMB2
1319 in the [global] section of your smb.conf and re-starting
1320 Samba. All features should work over SMB2 except the modification
1321 of user quotas using the Windows quota management tools.
1323 As this is the first release containing what we consider
1324 to be a fully featured SMB2 protocol, we are not enabling
1325 this by default, but encourage users to enable SMB2 and
1326 test it. Once we have enough confirmation from Samba
1327 users and OEMs that SMB2 support is stable in wide user
1328 testing we will enable SMB2 by default in a future Samba
1329 release.
1332 Internal Winbind passdb changes
1333 -------------------------------
1335 Winbind has been changed to use the internal samr and lsa rpc pipe to get
1336 local user and group information instead of calling passdb functions. The
1337 reason is to use more of our infrastructure and test this infrastructure by
1338 using it. With this approach more code in Winbind is shared.
1341 New Spoolss code
1342 ----------------
1344 The spoolss and the old RAP printing code have been completely
1345 overhauled and refactored.
1347 All calls from lanman/printing code has been changed to go through the
1348 spoolss RPC interfaces, this allows us to keep all checks in one place
1349 and avoid special cases in the main printing code.
1350 Printing code has been therefore confined within the spoolss code.
1352 All the printing code, including the spoolss RPC interfaces has been
1353 changed to use the winreg RPC interfaces to store all data.
1354 All data has been migrated from custom, arbitrary TDB files to the
1355 registry interface. This transition allow us to present correct data to
1356 windows client accessing the server registry through the winreg RPC
1357 interfaces to query for printer data. Data is served out from a real
1358 registry implementation and therefore arguably 100% forward compatible.
1360 Migration code from the previous TDB files formats is provided. This
1361 code is automatically invoked the first time the new code is run on the
1362 server. Although manual migration is also available using the 'net
1363 printer migrate' command.
1365 These changes not only make all the spoolss code much more closer to
1366 "the spec", it also greatly improves our internal testing of both
1367 spoolss and winreg interfaces, and reduces overall code duplication.
1369 As part of this work, new tests have been also added to increase
1370 coverage.
1372 This code will also allow, in future, an easy transition to split out
1373 the spooling functions into a separate daemon for those OEMs that do not
1374 need printing functionality in their appliances, reducing the code
1375 footprint.
1378 ID Mapping Changes
1379 ------------------
1381 The id mapping configuration has been a source of much grief in the past.
1382 For this release, id mapping has been rewritten yet again with the goal
1383 of making the configuration more simple and more coherent while keeping
1384 the needed flexibility and even adding to the flexibility in some respects.
1386 The major change that implies the configuration simplifications is at
1387 the heart of the id mapping system: The separation of the "idmap alloc
1388 system" that is responsible for the unix id counters in the tdb, tdb2
1389 and ldap idmap backends from the id mapping code itself has been removed.
1390 The sids_to_unixids operation is now atomic and encapsulates (if needed)
1391 the action of allocating a unix id for a mapping that is to be created.
1392 Consequently all idmap alloc configuration parameters have vanished and
1393 it is hence now also not possible any more to specify an idmap alloc
1394 backend different from the idmap backend. Each idmap backend uses its
1395 own idmap unixid creation mechanism transparently.
1397 As a consequence of the id mapping changes, the methods that are used
1398 for storing and deleting id mappings have been removed from the winbindd
1399 API. The "net idmap dump/restore" commands have been rewritten to
1400 not speak through winbindd any more but directly act on the databases.
1401 This is currently available for the tdb and tdb2 backends, the implementation
1402 for ldap still missing.
1404 The allocate_id functionality is preserved for the unix id creator of the
1405 default idmap configuration is also used as the source of unix ids
1406 for the group mapping database and for the posix attributes in a
1407 ldapsam:editposix setup.
1409 As part of the changes, the default idmap configuration has been
1410 changed to be more coherent with the per-domain configuration.
1411 The parameters "idmap uid", "idmap gid" and "idmap range" are now
1412 deprecated in favour of the systematic "idmap config * : range"
1413 and "idmap config * : backend" parameters. The reason for this change
1414 is that the old options only provided an incomplete and hence deceiving
1415 backwards compatibility, which was a source of many problems with
1416 upgrades. By introducing this change in configuration, it should be
1417 brought to the conciousness of the users that even the simple
1418 id mapping is not working exactly as in Samba 3.0 versions any more.
1421 Endpoint Mapper
1422 ---------------
1424 As Microsoft is more and more relying on endpoint mapper and we didn't have a
1425 complete implementation we decided to create an instance for Samba. The
1426 endpoint mapper is like a DNS server but for ports. If you want to talk to a
1427 certain RPC service over TCP/IP, you just ask the endpoint mapper on which
1428 port it is running. Then you can connect to the service and make sure that it
1429 is running.
1431 The code is deactivated by default, because it needs more testing and it
1432 doesn't scale yet. If you want to enable and test the endpoint mapper
1433 you can set "rpc_server:epmapper = daemon" in the smb.conf file.
1436 Internal restructuring
1437 ----------------------
1439 Ongoing internal restructuring for better separation of internal subsystem to
1440 achieve a faster build, smaller binaries and cleaner dependencies for the samba3
1441 waf build.
1444 SMB Traffic Analyzer
1445 --------------------
1447 Added the new SMB Traffic Analyzer (SMBTA) VFS module protocol 2
1448 featuring encryption, multiple arguments, and easier parseability. A new
1449 tool 'smbta-util' has been created to control the encryption behaviour
1450 of SMBTA. For compatibility, SMBTA by default operates on version 1.
1451 There are programs consuming the data that the module sends.
1453 More information can be found on
1454 http://holger123.wordpress.com/smb-traffic-analyzer/
1457 NFS quota backend on Linux
1458 --------------------------
1460 A new nfs quota backend for Linux has been added that is based
1461 on the existing Solaris/FreeBSD implementation. This allows samba
1462 to communicate correct diskfree information for nfs imports that
1463 are re-exported as samba shares.
