188 Release Notes for Samba 4.8.7
190 =============================
193 This is a security release in order to address the following defects:
195 o CVE-2018-14629 (Unprivileged adding of CNAME record causing loop in AD
197 o CVE-2018-16841 (Double-free in Samba AD DC KDC with PKINIT)
198 o CVE-2018-16851 (NULL pointer de-reference in Samba AD DC LDAP server)
199 o CVE-2018-16853 (Samba AD DC S4U2Self crash in experimental MIT Kerberos
200 configuration (unsupported))
208 All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 onwards are vulnerable to infinite
209 query recursion caused by CNAME loops. Any dns record can be added via
210 ldap by an unprivileged user using the ldbadd tool, so this is a
214 When configured to accept smart-card authentication, Samba's KDC will call
215 talloc_free() twice on the same memory if the principal in a validly signed
216 certificate does not match the principal in the AS-REQ.
218 This is only possible after authentication with a trusted certificate.
220 talloc is robust against further corruption from a double-free with
221 talloc_free() and directly calls abort(), terminating the KDC process.
223 There is no further vulnerability associated with this issue, merely a
227 During the processing of an LDAP search before Samba's AD DC returns
228 the LDAP entries to the client, the entries are cached in a single
229 memory object with a maximum size of 256MB. When this size is
230 reached, the Samba process providing the LDAP service will follow the
231 NULL pointer, terminating the process.
233 There is no further vulnerability associated with this issue, merely a
237 A user in a Samba AD domain can crash the KDC when Samba is built in the
238 non-default MIT Kerberos configuration.
240 With this advisory we clarify that the MIT Kerberos build of the Samba
241 AD DC is considered experimental. Therefore the Samba Team will not
242 issue security patches for this configuration.
244 For more details and workarounds, please refer to the security advisories.
250 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
251 * BUG 13628: CVE-2018-16841: heimdal: Fix segfault on PKINIT with
252 mis-matching principal.
253 * BUG 13678: CVE-2018-16853: build: The Samba AD DC, when build with MIT
254 Kerberos is experimental
256 o Aaron Haslett <aaronhaslett@catalyst.net.nz>
257 * BUG 13600: CVE-2018-14629: dns: CNAME loop prevention using counter.
259 o Garming Sam <garming@catalyst.net.nz>
260 * BUG 13674: CVE-2018-16851: ldap_server: Check ret before manipulating blob.

847 =============================
848 Release Notes for Samba 4.8.0
850 =============================
853 This is the first stable release of the Samba 4.8 release series.
854 Please read the release notes carefully before upgrading.
860 New GUID Index mode in sam.ldb for the AD DC
861 --------------------------------------------
863 Users who upgrade a Samba AD DC in-place will experience a short delay
864 in the first startup of Samba while the sam.ldb is re-indexed.
866 Unlike in previous releases a transparent downgrade is not possible.
867 If you wish to downgrade such a DB to a Samba 4.7 or earlier version,
868 please run the source4/scripting/bin/sambaundoguididx script first.
870 Domain member setups require winbindd
871 -------------------------------------
873 Setups with "security = domain" or "security = ads" require a
874 running 'winbindd' now. The fallback that smbd directly contacts
875 domain controllers is gone.
877 smbclient reparse point symlink parameters reversed
878 ---------------------------------------------------
880 See the more detailed description below.
882 Changed trusted domains listing with wbinfo -m --verbose
883 --------------------------------------------------------
885 See the more detailed description below.
890 New GUID Index mode in sam.ldb for the AD DC
891 --------------------------------------------
893 The new layout used for sam.ldb is GUID, rather than DN oriented.
894 This provides Samba's Active Directory Domain Controller with a faster
895 database, particularly at larger scale.
897 The underlying DB is still TDB, simply the choice of key has changed.
899 The new mode is not optional, so no configuration is required. Older
900 Samba versions cannot read the new database (see the upgrade
906 Adds Group Policy support for the Samba kdc. Applies password policies
907 (minimum/maximum password age, minimum password length, and password
908 complexity) and kerberos policies (user/service ticket lifetime and
911 Adds the samba_gpoupdate script for applying and unapplying
912 policy. Can be applied automatically by setting
914 'apply group policies = yes'.
916 Time Machine Support with vfs_fruit
917 -----------------------------------
919 Samba can be configured as a Time Machine target for Apple Mac devices
920 through the vfs_fruit module. When enabling a share for Time Machine
921 support the relevant Avahi records to support discovery will be published
922 for installations that have been built against the Avahi client library.
924 Shares can be designated as a Time Machine share with the following setting:
926 'fruit:time machine = yes'
928 Support for lower casing the MDNS Name
929 --------------------------------------
931 Allows the server name that is advertised through MDNS to be set to the
932 hostname rather than the Samba NETBIOS name. This allows an administrator
933 to make Samba registered MDNS records match the case of the hostname
934 rather than being in all capitals.
936 This can be set with the following settings:
943 Attributes deemed to be sensitive are now encrypted on disk. The sensitive
944 values are currently:
946 msDS-ExecuteScriptPassword
954 supplementalCredentials
960 This encryption is enabled by default on a new provision or join, it
961 can be disabled at provision or join time with the new option
962 '--plaintext-secrets'.
964 However, an in-place upgrade will not encrypt the database.
966 Once encrypted, it is not possible to do an in-place downgrade (eg to
967 4.7) of the database. To obtain an unencrypted copy of the database a
968 new DC join should be performed, specifying the '--plaintext-secrets'
971 The key file "encrypted_secrets.key" is created in the same directory
972 as the database and should NEVER be disclosed. It is included by the
975 Active Directory replication visualisation
976 ------------------------------------------
978 To work out what is happening in a replication graph, it is sometimes
979 helpful to use visualisations. We introduce a samba-tool subcommand to
980 write Graphviz dot output and generate text-based heatmaps of the
981 distance in hops between DCs.
983 There are two subcommands, two graphical modes, and (roughly) two modes of
984 operation with respect to the location of authority.
986 `samba-tool visualize ntdsconn` looks at NTDS Connections.
987 `samba-tool visualize reps` looks at repsTo and repsFrom objects.
989 In '--distance' mode (default), the distances between DCs are shown in
990 a matrix in the terminal. With '--color=yes', this is depicted as a
991 heatmap. With '--utf8' it is a lttle prettier.
993 In '--dot' mode, Graphviz dot output is generated. When viewed using
994 dot or xdot, this shows the network as a graph with DCs as vertices
995 and connections edges. Certain types of degenerate edges are shown in
996 different colours or line-styles.
998 smbclient reparse point symlink parameters reversed
999 ---------------------------------------------------
1001 A bug in smbclient caused the 'symlink' command to reverse the
1002 meaning of the new name and link target parameters when creating a
1003 reparse point symlink against a Windows server. As this is a
1004 little used feature the ordering of these parameters has been
1005 reversed to match the parameter ordering of the UNIX extensions
1006 'symlink' command. The usage message for this command has also
1007 been improved to remove confusion.
1012 The dependency to global list of trusted domains within
1013 the winbindd processes has been reduced a lot.
1015 The construction of that global list is not reliable and often
1016 incomplete in complex trust setups. In most situations the list is not needed
1017 any more for winbindd to operate correctly. E.g. for plain file serving via SMB
1018 using a simple idmap setup with autorid, tdb or ad. However some more complex
1019 setups require the list, e.g. if you specify idmap backends for specific
1020 domains. Some pam_winbind setups may also require the global list.
1022 If you have a setup that doesn't require the global list, you should set
1023 "winbind scan trusted domains = no".
1025 Improved support for trusted domains (as AD DC)
1026 -----------------------------------------------
1028 The support for trusted domains/forests has improved a lot.
1030 External domain trusts, as well a transitive forest trusts,
1031 are supported in both directions (inbound and outbound)
1032 for Kerberos and NTLM authentication now.
1034 The LSA LookupNames and LookupSids implementations
1035 support resolving names and sids from trusts domains/forest
1036 now. This is important in order to allow Samba based
1037 domain members to make use of the trust.
1039 However there are currently still a few limitations:
1041 - It's not possible to add users/groups of a trusted domain
1042 into domain groups. So group memberships are not expanded
1043 on trust boundaries.
1044 See https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13300
1045 - Both sides of the trust need to fully trust each other!
1046 - No SID filtering rules are applied at all!
1047 - This means DCs of domain A can grant domain admin rights
1049 - Selective (CROSS_ORIGANIZATION) authentication is
1050 not supported. It's possible to create such a trust,
1051 but the KDC and winbindd ignore them.
1053 Changed trusted domains listing with wbinfo -m --verbose
1054 --------------------------------------------------------
1056 The trust properties printed by wbinfo -m --verbose have been changed to
1057 correctly reflect the view of the system where wbinfo is executed.
1059 The trust type field in particular can show additional values that correctly
1060 reflect the type of the trust: "Local" for the local SAM and BUILTIN,
1061 "Workstation" for a workstation trust to the primary domain, "RWDC" for the SAM
1062 on a AD DC, "RODC" for the SAM on a read-only DC, "PDC" for the SAM on a
1063 NT4-style DC, "Forest" for a AD forest trust and "External" for quarantined,
1064 external or NT4-style trusts.
1066 Indirect trusts are shown as "Routed" including the routing domain.
1068 Example, on a AD DC (SDOM1):
1070 Domain Name DNS Domain Trust Type Transitive In Out
1072 SDOM1 sdom1.site RWDC
1073 WDOM3 wdom3.site Forest Yes No Yes
1074 WDOM2 wdom2.site Forest Yes Yes Yes
1075 SUBDOM31 subdom31.wdom3.site Routed (via WDOM3)
1076 SUBDOM21 subdom21.wdom2.site Routed (via WDOM2)
1078 Same setup, on a member of WDOM2:
1080 Domain Name DNS Domain Trust Type Transitive In Out
1083 WDOM2 wdom2.site Workstation Yes No Yes
1084 WDOM1 wdom1.site Routed (via WDOM2)
1085 WDOM3 wdom3.site Routed (via WDOM2)
1086 SUBDOM21 subdom21.wdom2.site Routed (via WDOM2)
1087 SDOM1 sdom1.site Routed (via WDOM2)
1088 SUBDOM11 subdom11.wdom1.site Routed (via WDOM2)
1090 The list of trusts may be incomplete and additional domains may appear as
1091 "Routed" if a user of an unknown domain is successfully authenticated.
1093 VirusFilter VFS module
1094 ----------------------
1096 This new module integrates with Sophos, F-Secure and ClamAV anti-virus
1097 software to provide scanning and filtering of files on a Samba share.
1100 Local authorization plugin for MIT Kerberos
1101 -------------------------------------------
1103 This plugin controls the relationship between Kerberos principals and AD
1104 accounts through winbind. The module receives the Kerberos principal and the
1105 local account name as inputs and can then check if they match. This can resolve
1106 issues with canonicalized names returned by Kerberos within AD. If the user
1107 tries to log in as 'alice', but the samAccountName is set to ALICE (uppercase),
1108 Kerberos would return ALICE as the username. Kerberos would not be able to map
1109 'alice' to 'ALICE' in this case and auth would fail. With this plugin account
1110 names can be correctly mapped. This only applies to GSSAPI authentication,
1111 not for the geting the initial ticket granting ticket.
1113 New glusterfs_fuse VFS module
1114 -----------------------------
1116 The new vfs_glusterfs_fuse module improves performance when Samba
1117 accesses a glusterfs volume mounted via FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace
1118 as part of the Linux kernel). It achieves that by leveraging a
1119 mechanism to retrieve the appropriate case of filenames by querying a
1120 specific extended attribute in the filesystem. No extra configuration
1121 is required to use this module, only glusterfs_fuse needs to be set in
1122 the "vfs objects" parameter. Further details can be found in the
1123 vfs_glusterfs_fuse(8) manpage. This new vfs_glusterfs_fuse module does
1124 not replace the existing vfs_glusterfs module, it just provides an
1125 additional, alternative mechanism to access a Gluster volume.
1130 'net serverid' commands removed
1131 -------------------------------
1133 The two commands 'net serverid list' and 'net serverid wipe' have been
1134 removed, because the file serverid.tdb is not used anymore.
1136 'net serverid list' can be replaced by listing all files in the
1137 subdirectory "msg.lock" of Samba's "lock directory". The unique id
1138 listed by 'net serverid list' is stored in every process' lockfile in
1141 'net serverid wipe' is not necessary anymore. It was meant primarily
1142 for clustered environments, where the serverid.tdb file was not
1143 properly cleaned up after single node crashes. Nowadays smbd and
1144 winbind take care of cleaning up the msg.lock and msg.sock directories
1147 NT4-style replication based net commands removed
1148 ------------------------------------------------
1150 The following commands and sub-commands have been removed from the
1154 net rpc vampire ldif
1156 Also, replicating from a real NT4 domain with "net rpc vampire" and
1157 "net rpc vampire keytab" has been removed.
1159 The NT4-based commands were accidentally broken in 2013, and nobody
1160 noticed the breakage. So instead of fixing them including tests (which
1161 would have meant writing a server for the protocols, which we don't
1162 have) we decided to remove them.
1164 For the same reason, the "samsync", "samdeltas" and "database_redo"
1165 commands have been removed from rpcclient.
1167 "net rpc vampire keytab" from Active Directory domains continues to be
1170 vfs_aio_linux module removed
1171 ----------------------------
1173 The current Linux kernel aio does not match what Samba would
1174 do. Shipping code that uses it leads people to false
1175 assumptions. Samba implements async I/O based on threads by default,
1176 there is no special module required to see benefits of read and write
1177 request being sent do the disk in parallel.
