+ Release Notes for Samba 4.13.2
+ November 03, 2020
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is the latest stable release of the Samba 4.13 release series.
+
+Major enhancements include:
+ o BUG 14537: ctdb-common: Avoid aliasing errors during code optimization.
+ o BUG 14486: vfs_glusterfs: Avoid data corruption with the write-behind
+ translator.
+
+
+=======
+Details
+=======
+
+The GlusterFS write-behind performance translator, when used with Samba, could
+be a source of data corruption. The translator, while processing a write call,
+immediately returns success but continues writing the data to the server in the
+background. This can cause data corruption when two clients relying on Samba to
+provide data consistency are operating on the same file.
+
+The write-behind translator is enabled by default on GlusterFS.
+The vfs_glusterfs plugin will check for the presence of the translator and
+refuse to connect if detected. Please disable the write-behind translator for
+the GlusterFS volume to allow the plugin to connect to the volume.
+

+
+
+ ==============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.13.1
+ October 29, 2020
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address the following defects:
+
+o CVE-2020-14318: Missing handle permissions check in SMB1/2/3 ChangeNotify.
+o CVE-2020-14323: Unprivileged user can crash winbind.
+o CVE-2020-14383: An authenticated user can crash the DCE/RPC DNS with easily
+ crafted records.
+
+
+=======
+Details
+=======
+
+o CVE-2020-14318:
+ The SMB1/2/3 protocols have a concept of "ChangeNotify", where a client can
+ request file name notification on a directory handle when a condition such as
+ "new file creation" or "file size change" or "file timestamp update" occurs.
+
+ A missing permissions check on a directory handle requesting ChangeNotify
+ meant that a client with a directory handle open only for
+ FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES (minimal access rights) could be used to obtain change
+ notify replies from the server. These replies contain information that should
+ not be available to directory handles open for FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTE only.
+
+o CVE-2020-14323:
+ winbind in version 3.6 and later implements a request to translate multiple
+ Windows SIDs into names in one request. This was done for performance
+ reasons: The Microsoft RPC call domain controllers offer to do this
+ translation, so it was an obvious extension to also offer this batch
+ operation on the winbind unix domain stream socket that is available to local
+ processes on the Samba server.
+
+ Due to improper input validation a hand-crafted packet can make winbind
+ perform a NULL pointer dereference and thus crash.
+
+o CVE-2020-14383:
+ Some DNS records (such as MX and NS records) usually contain data in the
+ additional section. Samba's dnsserver RPC pipe (which is an administrative
+ interface not used in the DNS server itself) made an error in handling the
+ case where there are no records present: instead of noticing the lack of
+ records, it dereferenced uninitialised memory, causing the RPC server to
+ crash. This RPC server, which also serves protocols other than dnsserver,
+ will be restarted after a short delay, but it is easy for an authenticated
+ non-admin attacker to crash it again as soon as it returns. The Samba DNS
+ server itself will continue to operate, but many RPC services will not.
+
+For more details, please refer to the security advisories.
+
+
+Changes since 4.13.0
+--------------------
+
+o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+ * BUG 14434: CVE-2020-14318: s3: smbd: Ensure change notifies can't get set
+ unless the directory handle is open for SEC_DIR_LIST.
+
+o Douglas Bagnall <douglas.bagnall@catalyst.net.nz>
+ * BUG 12795: CVE-2020-14383: Remote crash after adding NS or MX records using
+ 'samba-tool'.
+ * BUG 14472: CVE-2020-14383: Remote crash after adding MX records.
+
+o Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org>
+ * BUG 14436: CVE-2020-14323: winbind: Fix invalid lookupsids DoS.

+ Release Notes for Samba 4.13.0
+ September 22, 2020
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is the first stable release of the Samba 4.13 release series.
+Please read the release notes carefully before upgrading.
+
+
+ZeroLogon
=========
+Please avoid to set "server schannel = no" and "server schannel= auto" on all
+Samba domain controllers due to the wellknown ZeroLogon issue.
+
+For details please see
+https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2020-1472.html.
+
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================
-Python 3.6 Required
--------------------
+Python 3.6 or later required
+----------------------------
Samba's minimum runtime requirement for python was raised to Python
3.5 with samba 4.12. Samba 4.13 raises this minimum version to Python
3.6 both to access new features and because this is the oldest version
we test with in our CI infrastructure.
-(Build time support for the file server with Python 2.6 has not
-changed)
+This is also the last release where it will be possible to build Samba
+(just the file server) with Python versions 2.6 and 2.7.
+
+As Python 2.7 has been End Of Life upstream since April 2020, Samba
+is dropping ALL Python 2.x support in the NEXT release.
+
+Samba 4.14 to be released in March 2021 will require Python 3.6 or
+later to build.
wide links functionality
------------------------
add the vfs_widelinks module into the "vfs objects =" parameter lists.
The release notes will be updated to note this change when it occurs.
+NT4-like 'classic' Samba domain controllers
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Samba 4.13 deprecates Samba's original domain controller mode.
+
+Sites using Samba as a Domain Controller should upgrade from the
+NT4-like 'classic' Domain Controller to a Samba Active Directory DC
+to ensure full operation with modern windows clients.
+
+SMBv1 only protocol options deprecated
+--------------------------------------
+
+A number of smb.conf parameters for less-secure authentication methods
+which are only possible over SMBv1 are deprecated in this release.
+
+
REMOVED FEATURES
================
The deprecated "ldap ssl ads" smb.conf option has been removed.
+
smb.conf changes
================
- Parameter Name Description Default
- -------------- ----------- -------
- ldap ssl ads removed
- smb2 disable lock sequence checking No
