+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.13
+ December 9, 2013
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address
+CVE-2013-4408 (DCE-RPC fragment length field is incorrectly checked) and
+CVE-2012-6150 (pam_winbind login without require_membership_of restrictions).
+
+o CVE-2013-4408:
+ Samba versions 3.4.0 and above (versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.17, 3.5.0 -
+ 3.5.22, 3.6.0 - 3.6.21, 4.0.0 - 4.0.12 and including 4.1.2) are
+ vulnerable to buffer overrun exploits in the client processing of
+ DCE-RPC packets. This is due to incorrect checking of the DCE-RPC
+ fragment length in the client code.
+
+ This is a critical vulnerability as the DCE-RPC client code is part of
+ the winbindd authentication and identity mapping daemon, which is
+ commonly configured as part of many server installations (when joined
+ to an Active Directory Domain). A malicious Active Directory Domain
+ Controller or man-in-the-middle attacker impersonating an Active
+ Directory Domain Controller could achieve root-level access by
+ compromising the winbindd process.
+
+ Samba server versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.17 and versions 3.5.0 - 3.5.22 are
+ also vulnerable to a denial of service attack (server crash) due to a
+ similar error in the server code of those versions.
+
+ Samba server versions 3.6.0 and above (including all 3.6.x versions,
+ all 4.0.x versions and 4.1.x) are not vulnerable to this problem.
+
+ In addition range checks were missing on arguments returned from calls
+ to the DCE-RPC functions LookupSids (lsa and samr), LookupNames (lsa and samr)
+ and LookupRids (samr) which could also cause similar problems.
+
+ As this was found during an internal audit of the Samba code there are
+ no currently known exploits for this problem (as of December 9th 2013).
+
+o CVE-2012-6150:
+ Winbind allows for the further restriction of authenticated PAM logins using
+ the require_membership_of parameter. System administrators may specify a list
+ of SIDs or groups for which an authenticated user must be a member of. If an
+ authenticated user does not belong to any of the entries, then login should
+ fail. Invalid group name entries are ignored.
+
+ Samba versions 3.3.10, 3.4.3, 3.5.0 and later incorrectly allow login from
+ authenticated users if the require_membership_of parameter specifies only
+ invalid group names.
+
+ This is a vulnerability with low impact. All require_membership_of group
+ names must be invalid for this bug to be encountered.
+

+
+ ==============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.11
+ November 11, 2013
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address
+CVE-2013-4475 (ACLs are not checked on opening an alternate
+data stream on a file or directory) and
+CVE-2013-4476 (Private key in key.pem world readable).
+
+o CVE-2013-4475:
+ Samba versions 3.2.0 and above (all versions of 3.2.x, 3.3.x,
+ 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 4.0.x and 4.1.x) do not check the underlying
+ file or directory ACL when opening an alternate data stream.
+
+ According to the SMB1 and SMB2+ protocols the ACL on an underlying
+ file or directory should control what access is allowed to alternate
+ data streams that are associated with the file or directory.
+
+ By default no version of Samba supports alternate data streams
+ on files or directories.
+
+ Samba can be configured to support alternate data streams by loading
+ either one of two virtual file system modues (VFS) vfs_streams_depot or
+ vfs_streams_xattr supplied with Samba, so this bug only affects Samba
+ servers configured this way.
+
+ To determine if your server is vulnerable, check for the strings
+ "streams_depot" or "streams_xattr" inside your smb.conf configuration
+ file.
+
+o CVE-2013-4476:
+ In setups which provide ldap(s) and/or https services, the private
+ key for SSL/TLS encryption might be world readable. This typically
+ happens in active directory domain controller setups.
+
+
+Changes since 4.0.10:
+---------------------
+
+o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+ * BUGs 10234 + 10229: CVE-2013-4475: Fix access check verification on stream
+ files.
+
+
+o Björn Baumbach <bb@sernet.de>
+ * BUG 10234: CVE-2013-4476: Private key in key.pem world readable.

+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.8
+ August 05, 2013
+ =============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address
+CVE-2013-4124 (Missing integer wrap protection in EA list reading can cause
+server to loop with DOS).
+
+o CVE-2013-4124:
+ All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a denial of
+ service on an authenticated or guest connection. A malformed packet
+ can cause the smbd server to loop the CPU performing memory
+ allocations and preventing any further service.
+
+ A connection to a file share, or a local account is needed to exploit
+ this problem, either authenticated or unauthenticated if guest
+ connections are allowed.
+
+ This flaw is not exploitable beyond causing the code to loop
+ allocating memory, which may cause the machine to exceed memory
+ limits.
+
+
+Changes since 4.0.7:

+
+o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+ * BUG 10010: CVE-2013-4124: Missing integer wrap protection in EA list

+
+
+Note about upgrading from older versions:
+-----------------------------------------
+
+It is still the case that there are printing tdbs (ntprinting.tdb, ntforms.tdb,
+ntdrivers.tdb) which are in latin1 or other encodings. When updating from
+Samba 3.5 or earlier to Samba 3.6 or 4.0 these tdbs need to be migrated to our
+new registry based printing management. This means during the migration we
+also need to do charset conversion. This can only been done manually cause we don't
+know in which encoding the tdb is. You have to specify the correct code page
+for the conversion, see iconv -l and Wikipedia [1] for the available codepages.
+The mostly used one is Windows Latin1 which is CP1252.
+
+We've extended the 'net printing dump' and 'net printing migrate' commands to
+define the encoding of the tdb. So you can correctly view the tdb with:
+
+ net printing dump encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb
+
+or migrate it with e.g.:
+
+ net printing migrate encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb
+
+If you migrate printers we suggest you do it in the following order.
+
+ntforms.tdb
+ntdrivers.tdb
+ntprinting.tdb
+
+Don't forget to rename, move or delete these files in /var/lib/samba after the
+migration.

+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.2
+ January 30, 2013
+ =============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address
+CVE-2013-0213 (Clickjacking issue in SWAT) and
+CVE-2013-0214 (Potential XSRF in SWAT).
+
+o CVE-2013-0213:
+ All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to clickjacking in the
+ Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). When the SWAT pages are integrated into
+ a malicious web page via a frame or iframe and then overlaid by other content,
+ an attacker could trick an administrator to potentially change Samba settings.
+
+ In order to be vulnerable, SWAT must have been installed and enabled
+ either as a standalone server launched from inetd or xinetd, or as a
+ CGI plugin to Apache. If SWAT has not been installed or enabled (which
+ is the default install state for Samba) this advisory can be ignored.
+
+o CVE-2013-0214:
+ All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a cross-site
+ request forgery in the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). By guessing a
+ user's password and then tricking a user who is authenticated with SWAT into
+ clicking a manipulated URL on a different web page, it is possible to manipulate
+ SWAT.
+
+ In order to be vulnerable, the attacker needs to know the victim's password.
+ Additionally SWAT must have been installed and enabled either as a standalone
+ server launched from inetd or xinetd, or as a CGI plugin to Apache. If SWAT has
+ not been installed or enabled (which is the default install state for Samba)
+ this advisory can be ignored.

-This is the fifth release candidate of Samba 4.0. This is *not*
-intended for production environments and is designed for testing
-purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
-system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
-Samba 4.0 will be the next version of the Samba suite and incorporates
-all the technology found in both the Samba4 series and the
-stable 3.x series. The primary additional features over Samba 3.6 are
-support for the Active Directory logon protocols used by Windows 2000
-and above.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
-This release contains the best of all of Samba's
-technology parts, both a file server (that you can reasonably expect
-to upgrade existing Samba 3.x releases to) and the AD domain
-controller work previously known as 'samba4'.
-If you are upgrading, or looking to develop, test or deploy Samba 4.0
-releases candidates, you should backup all configuration and data.
+ =============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.1
+ January 15, 2013
+ =============================
-UPGRADING
-=========
+This is a security release in order to address CVE-2013-0172.
-Users upgrading from Samba 3.x domain controllers and wanting to use
-Samba 4.0 as an AD DC should use the 'samba-tool domain
-classicupgrade' command. See the wiki for more details:
-https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba3upgrade/HOWTO.
+o CVE-2013-0172:
+ Samba 4.0.0 as an AD DC may provide authenticated users with write access
+ to LDAP directory objects.
-Users upgrading from Samba 4.0 alpha and beta releases since alpha15
-should run 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix' before re-starting
-Samba. Users upgrading from earlier alpha releases should contact the
-team for advice.
+ In AD, Access Control Entries can be assigned based on the objectClass
+ of the object. If a user or a group the user is a member of has any
+ access based on the objectClass, then that user has write access to that
+ object.
-Users upgrading an AD DC from any previous release should run
-'samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset' to re-sync ACLs on the sysvol share
-with those matching the GPOs in LDAP and the defaults from an initial
-provision. This will set an underlying POSIX ACL if required (eg not
-using the NTVFS file server).
+ Additionally, if a user has write access to any attribute on the object,
+ they may have access to write to all attributes.
-If you used the BIND9_FLATFILE or BIND9_DLZ features,
-you'll have to add '-dns' to the 'server services' option,
-as the internal dns server (SAMBA_INTERNAL) is the default now.
+ An important mitigation is that anonymous access is totally disabled by
+ default. The second important mitigation is that normal users are
+ typically only given the problematic per-objectClass right via the
+ "pre-windows 2000 compatible access" group, and Samba 4.0.0 incorrectly
+ does not make "authenticated users" part of this group.
+Changes since 4.0.0:

+Major enhancements in Samba 4.0.0 include:
+
+Active Directory services
+=========================
Samba 4.0 supports the server-side of the Active Directory logon
environment used by Windows 2000 and later, so we can do full domain
the infamous Kerberos PAC, and include it with the Kerberos tickets we
issue.
-Samba 4.0.0rc5 ships with two distinct file servers. We now use the
+When running an AD DC, you only need to run 'samba' (not smbd/nmbd/winbindd),
+as the required services are co-coordinated by this master binary.
+The tool to administer the Active Directory services is called 'samba-tool'.
+
+A short guide to setting up Samba 4 as an AD DC can be found on the wiki:
+
+ http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO
+
+
+File Services
+=============
+
+Samba 4.0.0 ships with two distinct file servers. We now use the
file server from the Samba 3.x series 'smbd' for all file serving by
default.
Samba 4.0 also ships with the 'NTVFS' file server. This file server
-is what was used in all previous releases of Samba 4.0, and is
+is what was used prior to the beta2 release of Samba 4.0, and is
tuned to match the requirements of an AD domain controller. We
continue to support this, not only to provide continuity to
installations that have deployed it as part of an AD DC, but also as a
the longer term.
For pure file server work, the binaries users would expect from that
-series (nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available. When
-running an AD DC, you only need to run 'samba' (not
-nmbd/smbd/winbind), as the required services are co-coordinated by this
-master binary.
+series (smbd, nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available.
+
+
+Domain Member Support
+=====================
+
+Domain member support in the 'samba' binary is in its infancy, and
+is not comparable to the support found in 'winbindd'. As such, on
+Samba domain member servers, the binaries 'smbd', 'nmbd' and 'winbindd'
+are to be used, as known from Samba 3 domain member server setups.
+The only exceptions from this rule are the cases which explicitly
+require the 'samba' binary, namely running the ntvfs file server,
+the CIFS proxy or OpenChange on a domain member.
+
+
+DNS
+===
As DNS is an integral part of Active Directory, we also provide two DNS
solutions, a simple internal DNS server for 'out of the box' configurations
for bind to make it use this plugin, as well as a file explaining how to
set up bind.
+
+NTP
+===
+
To provide accurate timestamps to Windows clients, we integrate with
the NTP project to provide secured NTP replies. To use you need to
start ntpd and configure it with the 'restrict ... ms-sntp' and
ntpsigndsocket options.
-Finally, a new scripting interface has been added to Samba 4, allowing
+
+Python Scripting Interface
+==========================
+
+A new scripting interface has been added to Samba 4, allowing
Python programs to interface to Samba's internals, and many tools and
internal workings of the DC code is now implemented in python.
+Known Issues
+============
+
+- Replication of DNS data from one AD server to another may not work.
+ The DNS data used by the internal DNS server and bind9_dlz is stored
+ in an application partition in our directory. The replication of
+ this partition is not yet reliable.
+
+- Replication may fail on FreeBSD due to getaddrinfo() rejecting names
+ containing _. A workaround will be in a future release.
+
+- samba_upgradeprovision should not be run when upgrading to this release
+ from a recent release. No important database format changes have
+ been made since alpha16.
+
+- Installation on systems without a system iconv (and developer
+ headers at compile time) is known to cause errors when dealing with
+ non-ASCII characters.
+
+- There is no NetBIOS browsing support (network neighbourhood)
+ available for the AD domain controller. (Support in nmbd and smbd
+ for classic domains and member/standalone servers is unchanged).
+
+- Clock Synchronisation is critical. Many 'wrong password' errors are
+ actually due to Kerberos objecting to a clock skew between client
+ and server. (The NTP work in the previous alphas are partly to assist
+ with this problem).
+
+- The DRS replication code may fail. Please contact the team if you
+ experience issues with DRS replication, as we have fixed many issues
+ here in response to feedback from our production users.
+
+- Linux inotify will now only be supported on systems where glibc also supports
+ it (for details, please refer to bug #8850).
+
+
+Upgrading
+=========
+
+Users upgrading from Samba 3.x domain controllers and wanting to use
+Samba 4.0 as an AD DC should use the 'samba-tool domain
+classicupgrade' command. See the wiki for more details:
+https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/samba3upgrade/HOWTO.
+
+Users upgrading from Samba 4.0 alpha and beta releases since alpha15
+should run 'samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix' before re-starting
+Samba. Users upgrading from earlier alpha releases should contact the
+team for advice.
+
+Users upgrading an AD DC from any previous release should run
+'samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset' to re-sync ACLs on the sysvol share
+with those matching the GPOs in LDAP and the defaults from an initial
+provision. This will set an underlying POSIX ACL if required (eg not
+using the NTVFS file server).
+
+If you used the BIND9_FLATFILE or BIND9_DLZ features,
+you'll have to add '-dns' to the 'server services' option,
+as the internal dns server (SAMBA_INTERNAL) is the default now.

+CHANGES SINCE 4.0.0rc5
+======================
+
+In this release candidate, we have a significant number of improvements
+to our Access Control List (ACL) code, particularly for the Active
+Directory Domain Controller, but also in our general purpose file
+server.
+
+These changes are important, as they enable Group Policy Objects to work
+correctly, allow administrators to impose restrictions on some users
+reading certain parts of the directory and correctly propagating
+inherited ACLs down the LDAP directory tree.
+
+Users of the Active Directory Domain Controller upgrading from any
+previous release should run 'samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset' to re-sync
+ACLs on the sysvol share with those matching the GPOs in LDAP and the
+defaults from an initial provision. This will set an underlying POSIX
+ACL if required.
+
+The ACLs in the Active Directory are also checked on searches by default.
+The automatic inheritance of ACLs is also correctly recalculated on
+changes now.

CHANGES SINCE 4.0.0rc4

-KNOWN ISSUES
-============
-
-- 'samba-tool domain classicupgrade' will fail when setting ACLs on
- the GPO folders with NT_STATUS_INVALID_ONWER in the default
- configuration. This happens if, as is typical a 'domain admins'
- group (-512) is mapped in the passdb backend being upgraded. This
- is because the group mapping to a GID only prevents Samba from
- allocating a uid for that group. The uid is needed so the 'domain
- admins' group can own the GPO file objects.
-
- To work around this issue, remove the 'domain admins' group before
- upgrade, as it will be re-created automatically. You will
- of course need to fill in the group membership again. A future release
- will make this automatic, or find some other workaround.
-
-- This release makes the s3fs file server the default, as this is the
- file server combination we will use for the Samba 4.0 release.
-
-- For similar reasons, sites with ACLs stored by the ntvfs file server
- may wish to continue to use that file server implementation, as a
- posix ACL will similarly not be set in this case.
-
-- Replication of DNS data from one AD server to another may not work.
- The DNS data used by the internal DNS server and bind9_dlz is stored
- in an application partition in our directory. The replication of
- this partition is not yet reliable.
