+ Release Notes for Samba 3.5.1
+ March 8, 2010
+ =============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address CVE-2010-0728.
+
+
+o CVE-2010-0728:
+ In Samba releases 3.5.0, 3.4.6 and 3.3.11, new code
+ was added to fix a problem with Linux asynchronous IO handling.
+ This code introduced a bad security flaw on Linux platforms if the
+ binaries were built on Linux platforms with libcap support.
+ The flaw caused all smbd processes to inherit CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
+ capabilities, allowing all file system access to be allowed
+ even when permissions should have denied access.
+
+
+Changes since 3.5.0

+
+o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+ * BUG 7222: Fix for CVE-2010-0728.

+ Release Notes for Samba 3.5.0
+ March 1, 2010
+ ===============================
+
+
+This is the first stable release of Samba 3.5.
-This is the first release candidate of Samba 3.5. 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/.
Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.0 include:
General changes:
o Add support for full Windows timestamp resolution
+o The Using Samba HTML book has been removed.
+o 'net', 'smbclient' and libsmbclient can use credentials cached by Winbind.
+o The default value of "wide links" has been changed to "no".
Protocol changes:
o Experimental implementation of SMB2
o Major refactoring
o Asynchronous
+VFS modules:
+o New vfs_scannedonly module has been added.
+
General changes:
================
makes us use Windows' full 100ns timestamp resolution if supported by the
kernel (2.6.22 and higher) and the glibc (2.6 and higher).
+The Using Samba HTML book has been removed from the Samba tarball.
+It is still available at http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/toc.html.
+
+Samba client tools like 'net', 'smbclient' and libsmbclient can use the user
+credentials cached by Winbind at logon time. This is very useful e.g. when
+connecting to a Samba server using Nautilus without re-entering username and
+password. This feature is enabled by default and can be disabled per application
+by setting the LIBSMBCLIENT_NO_CCACHE environment variable.
+
+The default value of "wide links" has been changed to "no" to avoid an insecure
+default configuration ("wide links = yes" and "unix extensions = yes"). For
+more details, please see http://www.samba.org/samba/news/symlink_attack.html.
+
+
Protocol changes
================
===============
The Winbind daemon has been refactored internally to be asynchronous. The new
-Winbind will not be blocked by running 'wbinfo -g' or 'wbinfo -u'.
+Winbind will not be blocked by running 'getent group' or 'getent passwd'.
+
+VFS modules
+===========
+
+A new VFS module "scannedonly" has been added. This is a filter that
+talks to an antivirus-engine and stores whether a file is clean or not.
+Users do only see clean files on their filesystem.
