166 ----------------------------------------
168 =============================
169 Release Notes for Samba 4.0.2
170 January 30, 2013
171 =============================
174 This is a security release in order to address
175 CVE-2013-0213 (Clickjacking issue in SWAT) and
176 CVE-2013-0214 (Potential XSRF in SWAT).
178 o CVE-2013-0213:
179 All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to clickjacking in the
180 Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). When the SWAT pages are integrated into
181 a malicious web page via a frame or iframe and then overlaid by other content,
182 an attacker could trick an administrator to potentially change Samba settings.
184 In order to be vulnerable, SWAT must have been installed and enabled
185 either as a standalone server launched from inetd or xinetd, or as a
186 CGI plugin to Apache. If SWAT has not been installed or enabled (which
187 is the default install state for Samba) this advisory can be ignored.
189 o CVE-2013-0214:
190 All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a cross-site
191 request forgery in the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). By guessing a
192 user's password and then tricking a user who is authenticated with SWAT into
193 clicking a manipulated URL on a different web page, it is possible to manipulate
194 SWAT.
196 In order to be vulnerable, the attacker needs to know the victim's password.
197 Additionally SWAT must have been installed and enabled either as a standalone
198 server launched from inetd or xinetd, or as a CGI plugin to Apache. If SWAT has
199 not been installed or enabled (which is the default install state for Samba)
200 this advisory can be ignored.
203 Changes since 4.0.1:
204 ====================
206 o Kai Blin <kai@samba.org>
207 * BUG 9576: CVE-2013-0213: Fix clickjacking issue in SWAT.
208 * BUG 9577: CVE-2013-0214: Fix potential XSRF in SWAT.

235 Release Notes for Samba 4.0.1
236 January 15, 2013
237 =============================
240 This is a security release in order to address CVE-2013-0172.
242 o CVE-2013-0172:
243 Samba 4.0.0 as an AD DC may provide authenticated users with write access
244 to LDAP directory objects.
246 In AD, Access Control Entries can be assigned based on the objectClass
247 of the object. If a user or a group the user is a member of has any
248 access based on the objectClass, then that user has write access to that
249 object.
251 Additionally, if a user has write access to any attribute on the object,
252 they may have access to write to all attributes.
254 An important mitigation is that anonymous access is totally disabled by
255 default. The second important mitigation is that normal users are
256 typically only given the problematic per-objectClass right via the
257 "pre-windows 2000 compatible access" group, and Samba 4.0.0 incorrectly
258 does not make "authenticated users" part of this group.
260 Changes since 4.0.0:
261 ====================
263 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
264 * Bug 9554 - CVE-2013-0172 - Samba 4.0 as an AD DC may provide authenticated
265 users with write access to LDAP directory objects.

290 =============================
291 Release Notes for Samba 4.0.0
292 December 11, 2012
293 =============================
296 This is is the first stable release of Samba 4.0.
298 This release contains the best of all of Samba's
299 technology parts, both a file server (that you can reasonably expect
300 to upgrade existing Samba 3.x releases to) and the AD domain
301 controller work previously known as 'Samba4'.
303 Major enhancements in Samba 4.0.0 include:
305 Active Directory services
306 =========================
308 Samba 4.0 supports the server-side of the Active Directory logon
309 environment used by Windows 2000 and later, so we can do full domain
310 join and domain logon operations with these clients.
312 Our Domain Controller (DC) implementation includes our own built-in
313 LDAP server and Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) as well as the
314 Samba3-like logon services provided over CIFS. We correctly generate
315 the infamous Kerberos PAC, and include it with the Kerberos tickets we
316 issue.
318 When running an AD DC, you only need to run 'samba' (not smbd/nmbd/winbindd),
319 as the required services are co-coordinated by this master binary.
320 The tool to administer the Active Directory services is called 'samba-tool'.
322 A short guide to setting up Samba 4 as an AD DC can be found on the wiki:
324 http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO
327 File Services
328 =============
330 Samba 4.0.0 ships with two distinct file servers. We now use the
331 file server from the Samba 3.x series 'smbd' for all file serving by
332 default.
334 Samba 4.0 also ships with the 'NTVFS' file server. This file server
335 is what was used prior to the beta2 release of Samba 4.0, and is
336 tuned to match the requirements of an AD domain controller. We
337 continue to support this, not only to provide continuity to
338 installations that have deployed it as part of an AD DC, but also as a
339 running example of the NT-FSA architecture we expect to move smbd to in
340 the longer term.
342 For pure file server work, the binaries users would expect from that
343 series (smbd, nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available.
346 DNS
347 ===
349 As DNS is an integral part of Active Directory, we also provide two DNS
350 solutions, a simple internal DNS server for 'out of the box' configurations
351 and a more elaborate BIND plugin using the BIND DLZ mechanism in versions
352 9.8 and 9.9. During the provision, you can select which backend to use.
353 With the internal backend, your DNS server is good to go.
354 If you chose the BIND_DLZ backend, a configuration file will be generated
355 for bind to make it use this plugin, as well as a file explaining how to
356 set up bind.
359 NTP
360 ===
362 To provide accurate timestamps to Windows clients, we integrate with
363 the NTP project to provide secured NTP replies. To use you need to
364 start ntpd and configure it with the 'restrict ... ms-sntp' and
365 ntpsigndsocket options.
368 Python Scripting Interface
369 ==========================
371 A new scripting interface has been added to Samba 4, allowing
372 Python programs to interface to Samba's internals, and many tools and
373 internal workings of the DC code is now implemented in python.
376 Known Issues
377 ============
379 - Replication of DNS data from one AD server to another may not work.
380 The DNS data used by the internal DNS server and bind9_dlz is stored
381 in an application partition in our directory. The replication of
382 this partition is not yet reliable.
384 - Replication may fail on FreeBSD due to getaddrinfo() rejecting names
385 containing _. A workaround will be in a future release.
387 - samba_upgradeprovision should not be run when upgrading to this release
388 from a recent release. No important database format changes have
389 been made since alpha16.
391 - Installation on systems without a system iconv (and developer
392 headers at compile time) is known to cause errors when dealing with
393 non-ASCII characters.
395 - Domain member support in the 'samba' binary is in its infancy, and
396 is not comparable to the support found in winbindd. As such, do not
397 use the 'samba' binary (provided for the AD server) on a member
398 server.
400 - There is no NetBIOS browsing support (network neighbourhood)
401 available for the AD domain controller. (Support in nmbd and smbd
402 for classic domains and member/standalone servers is unchanged).
404 - Clock Synchronisation is critical. Many 'wrong password' errors are
405 actually due to Kerberos objecting to a clock skew between client
406 and server. (The NTP work in the previous alphas are partly to assist
407 with this problem).
409 - The DRS replication code may fail. Please contact the team if you
410 experience issues with DRS replication, as we have fixed many issues
411 here in response to feedback from our production users.
413 - Linux inotify will now only be supported on systems where glibc also supports
414 it (for details, please refer to bug #8850).
417 Upgrading
418 =========
420 Users upgrading from Samba 3.x domain controllers and wanting to use
421 Samba 4.0 as an AD DC should use the 'samba-tool domain
422 classicupgrade' command. See the wiki for more details:
423 https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba3upgrade/HOWTO.
425 Users upgrading from Samba 4.0 alpha and beta releases since alpha15
426 should run 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix' before re-starting
427 Samba. Users upgrading from earlier alpha releases should contact the
428 team for advice.
430 Users upgrading an AD DC from any previous release should run
431 'samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset' to re-sync ACLs on the sysvol share
432 with those matching the GPOs in LDAP and the defaults from an initial
433 provision. This will set an underlying POSIX ACL if required (eg not
434 using the NTVFS file server).
436 If you used the BIND9_FLATFILE or BIND9_DLZ features,
437 you'll have to add '-dns' to the 'server services' option,
438 as the internal dns server (SAMBA_INTERNAL) is the default now.
441 Supported features

564 CHANGES SINCE 4.0.0rc5
565 ======================
567 In this release candidate, we have a significant number of improvements
568 to our Access Control List (ACL) code, particularly for the Active
569 Directory Domain Controller, but also in our general purpose file
570 server.
572 These changes are important, as they enable Group Policy Objects to work
573 correctly, allow administrators to impose restrictions on some users
574 reading certain parts of the directory and correctly propagating
575 inherited ACLs down the LDAP directory tree.
577 Users of the Active Directory Domain Controller upgrading from any
578 previous release should run 'samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset' to re-sync
579 ACLs on the sysvol share with those matching the GPOs in LDAP and the
580 defaults from an initial provision. This will set an underlying POSIX
581 ACL if required.
583 The ACLs in the Active Directory are also checked on searches by default.
584 The automatic inheritance of ACLs is also correctly recalculated on
585 changes now.
587 o Michael Adam <obnox@samba.org>
588 * BUG 9350: Fail "configure --with-ads" if ads support is not available.
589 * BUG 9446: Id mapping code delivers inconsistent results.
590 * BUG 9453: Fix building pdb_ldap as shared module.
593 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
594 * BUG 9236: ACL masks incorrectly applied when setting ACLs.
595 * BUG 9374: Allow smb2.acls torture test to pass against smbd with a POSIX
596 ACLs backend.
599 o Christian Ambach <ambi@samba.org>
600 * BUG 9178: Add DMAPI configure option and checks.
