585 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.9
586 June 23, 2014
587 =============================
590 This is a security release in order to address
591 CVE-2014-0244 (Denial of service - CPU loop) and
592 CVE-2014-3493 (Denial of service - Server crash/memory corruption).
594 o CVE-2014-0244:
595 All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a denial of
596 service on the nmbd NetBIOS name services daemon. A malformed packet
597 can cause the nmbd server to loop the CPU and prevent any further
598 NetBIOS name service.
600 This flaw is not exploitable beyond causing the code to loop expending
601 CPU resources.
603 o CVE-2014-3493:
604 All current released versions of Samba are affected by a denial of service
605 crash involving overwriting memory on an authenticated connection to the
606 smbd file server.
609 Changes since 4.1.8:

872 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.6
873 March 11, 2014
874 =============================
877 This is a security release in order to address
878 CVE-2013-4496 (Password lockout not enforced for SAMR password changes) and
879 CVE-2013-6442 (smbcacls can remove a file or directory ACL by mistake).
881 o CVE-2013-4496:
882 Samba versions 3.4.0 and above allow the administrator to implement
883 locking out Samba accounts after a number of bad password attempts.
885 However, all released versions of Samba did not implement this check for
886 password changes, such as are available over multiple SAMR and RAP
887 interfaces, allowing password guessing attacks.
889 o CVE-2013-6442:
890 Samba versions 4.0.0 and above have a flaw in the smbcacls command. If
891 smbcacls is used with the "-C|--chown name" or "-G|--chgrp name"
892 command options it will remove the existing ACL on the object being
893 modified, leaving the file or directory unprotected.
896 Changes since 4.1.5:
897 --------------------
899 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
900 * BUG 10327: CVE-2013-6442: ensure we don't lose an existing ACL when
901 setting owner or group owner.
904 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
905 * BUG 10245: CVE-2013-4496: Enforce password lockout for SAMR password
906 changes.
909 o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
910 * BUG 10245: CVE-2013-4496: Enforce password lockout for SAMR password
911 changes.

1139 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.3
1140 December 9, 2013
1141 =============================
1144 This is a security release in order to address
1145 CVE-2013-4408 (DCE-RPC fragment length field is incorrectly checked) and
1146 CVE-2012-6150 (pam_winbind login without require_membership_of restrictions).
1148 o CVE-2013-4408:
1149 Samba versions 3.4.0 and above (versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.17, 3.5.0 -
1150 3.5.22, 3.6.0 - 3.6.21, 4.0.0 - 4.0.12 and including 4.1.2) are
1151 vulnerable to buffer overrun exploits in the client processing of
1152 DCE-RPC packets. This is due to incorrect checking of the DCE-RPC
1153 fragment length in the client code.
1155 This is a critical vulnerability as the DCE-RPC client code is part of
1156 the winbindd authentication and identity mapping daemon, which is
1157 commonly configured as part of many server installations (when joined
1158 to an Active Directory Domain). A malicious Active Directory Domain
1159 Controller or man-in-the-middle attacker impersonating an Active
1160 Directory Domain Controller could achieve root-level access by
1161 compromising the winbindd process.
1163 Samba server versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.17 and versions 3.5.0 - 3.5.22 are
1164 also vulnerable to a denial of service attack (server crash) due to a
1165 similar error in the server code of those versions.
1167 Samba server versions 3.6.0 and above (including all 3.6.x versions,
1168 all 4.0.x versions and 4.1.x) are not vulnerable to this problem.
1170 In addition range checks were missing on arguments returned from calls
1171 to the DCE-RPC functions LookupSids (lsa and samr), LookupNames (lsa and samr)
1172 and LookupRids (samr) which could also cause similar problems.
1174 As this was found during an internal audit of the Samba code there are
1175 no currently known exploits for this problem (as of December 9th 2013).
1177 o CVE-2012-6150:
1178 Winbind allows for the further restriction of authenticated PAM logins using
1179 the require_membership_of parameter. System administrators may specify a list
1180 of SIDs or groups for which an authenticated user must be a member of. If an
1181 authenticated user does not belong to any of the entries, then login should
1182 fail. Invalid group name entries are ignored.
1184 Samba versions 3.3.10, 3.4.3, 3.5.0 and later incorrectly allow login from
1185 authenticated users if the require_membership_of parameter specifies only
1186 invalid group names.
1188 This is a vulnerability with low impact. All require_membership_of group
1189 names must be invalid for this bug to be encountered.
1192 Changes since 4.1.2:
1193 --------------------
1195 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
1196 * BUG 10185: CVE-2013-4408: Correctly check DCE-RPC fragment length field.
1199 o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
1200 * BUG 10185: CVE-2013-4408: Correctly check DCE-RPC fragment length field.
1203 o Noel Power <noel.power@suse.com>
1204 * BUGs 10300, 10306: CVE-2012-6150: Fail authentication if user isn't
1205 member of *any* require_membership_of specified groups.

1324 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.1
1325 November 11, 2013
1326 =============================
1329 This is a security release in order to address
1330 CVE-2013-4475 (ACLs are not checked on opening an alternate
1331 data stream on a file or directory) and
1332 CVE-2013-4476 (Private key in key.pem world readable).
1334 o CVE-2013-4475:
1335 Samba versions 3.2.0 and above (all versions of 3.2.x, 3.3.x,
1336 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 4.0.x and 4.1.x) do not check the underlying
1337 file or directory ACL when opening an alternate data stream.
1339 According to the SMB1 and SMB2+ protocols the ACL on an underlying
1340 file or directory should control what access is allowed to alternate
1341 data streams that are associated with the file or directory.
1343 By default no version of Samba supports alternate data streams
1344 on files or directories.
1346 Samba can be configured to support alternate data streams by loading
1347 either one of two virtual file system modues (VFS) vfs_streams_depot or
1348 vfs_streams_xattr supplied with Samba, so this bug only affects Samba
1349 servers configured this way.
1351 To determine if your server is vulnerable, check for the strings
1352 "streams_depot" or "streams_xattr" inside your smb.conf configuration
1353 file.
1355 o CVE-2013-4476:
1356 In setups which provide ldap(s) and/or https services, the private
1357 key for SSL/TLS encryption might be world readable. This typically
1358 happens in active directory domain controller setups.
1361 Changes since 4.1.0:
1362 --------------------
1364 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
1365 * BUGs 10234 + 10229: CVE-2013-4475: Fix access check verification on stream
1366 files.
1369 o Björn Baumbach <bb@sernet.de>
1370 * BUG 10234: CVE-2013-4476: Private key in key.pem world readable.

1397 Release Notes for Samba 4.1.0
1398 October 11, 2013
1399 =============================
1402 This is is the first stable release of Samba 4.1.
1404 Samba 4.1 will be the next version of the Samba suite and includes
1405 all the technology found in both the Samba4 series and the stable 3.x
1406 series. The primary additional features over Samba 3.6 are
1407 support for the Active Directory logon protocols used by Windows 2000
1408 and above.
1410 Major enhancements in Samba 4.1.0 include:
1412 Client tools support SMB2/3
1413 ===========================
1415 Samba 4.1.0 contains the first release of our client tools
1416 and client library that work over the new protocols SMB2 or SMB3.
1417 Note that SMB3 only works either to a Samba server version 4.0.0
1418 or above, or to a Windows Server running Windows 2012 or Windows 8.
1420 The default protocol for smbclient and smbcacls is still
1421 SMB1 (the NT1 protocol dialect). An SMB2 or SMB3 connection
1422 can be selected in one of two ways. The easiest way to test
1423 the new protocol connection is to add the -mMAX_PROTOCOL
1424 command line switch to either smbclient or smbcacls.
1426 For example, to connect using SMB3 with smbclient a user
1427 would type:
1429 smbclient //server/share -Uuser%password -mSMB3
1431 Another example of connecting using SMB2 using smbcacls
1432 would be:
1434 smbcacls //server/share -Uuser%password -mSMB2 filename
1436 Note that when connecting using SMB2 or SMB3 protocols
1437 the UNIX extensions are no longer available inside the
1438 smbclient command set. This is due to UNIX extensions
1439 not yet being defined for the SMB2 or SMB3 protocols.
1441 The second way to select SMB2 or SMB3 connections is to
1442 set the "client max protocol" parameter in the [global]
1443 section of your smb.conf.
1445 Setting this parameter will cause all client connections
1446 from Samba and its client tools to offer the requested
1447 max protocol to a server on every connection request.
1449 For example, to cause all client tools (including winbindd,
1450 rpcclient, and the libsmbclient library) to attempt use SMB3
1451 by default add the line:
1453 client max protocol = SMB3
1455 to the [global] section of your smb.conf. This has not
1456 been as widely tested as the -mPROTOCOL options, but
1457 is intended to work correctly in the final release of
1458 4.1.0.
1460 Encrypted transport
1461 ===================
1463 Although Samba servers have supported encrypted transport
1464 connections using the UNIX extensions for many years,
1465 selecting SMB3 transport allows encrypted transport
1466 connections to Windows servers that support SMB3, as
1467 well as Samba servers.
1469 In order to enable this, add the "-e" option to the
1470 smbclient command line.
1472 For example, to connect to a Windows 2012 server over
1473 SMB3 and select an encrypted transport you would use
1474 the following command line:
1476 smbclient //Win2012Server/share -Uuser%password -mSMB3 -e
1479 Directory database replication (AD DC mode)
1480 ===========================================
1482 Directory replication has been reworked in order to improve the
1483 correctness and efficiency.
1484 As a net effect of it, replication with other domain controllers with
1485 a heavily modified schema is now possible (ie. Windows 2012 DCs or
1486 other Windows DC with exchange installed) and replication didn't fail
1487 anymore in such environments.
1490 Server-Side Copy Support
1491 ========================
1493 Samba 4.1.0 adds support for server-side copy operations via the SMB2
1494 FSCTL_SRV_COPYCHUNK request. Clients making use of server-side copy
1495 support, such as Windows Server 2012, should experience considerable
1496 performance improvements for file copy operations, as file data need not
1497 traverse the network.
1498 This feature is enabled by default on the smbd file server.
1501 Btrfs Filesystem Integration
1502 ============================
1504 The Btrfs VFS module provided with Samba 4.1.0 further improves the
1505 performance of server-side copy operations on shares backed by a Btrfs
1506 filesystem. It does so by allowing multiple files to share the same
1507 on-disk extents, avoiding the unnecessary duplication of source and
1508 destination file data during a server-side copy operation.
1510 This feature can be explicitly enabled on smbd shares backed by a Btrfs
1511 filesystem with the smb.conf parameter:
1512 vfs objects = btrfs
1515 REMOVED COMPONENTS
1516 ==================
1518 The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) has been removed.
1519 Details why SWAT has been removed can be found on the samba-technical mailing
1520 list:
