Release notes for older releases follow:
----------------------------------------
=============================
- Release Notes for Samba 3.5.3
- May 19, 2010
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.2
+ January 30, 2013
=============================
-This is the latest stable release of Samba 3.5.
+This is a security release in order to address
+CVE-2013-0213 (Clickjacking issue in SWAT) and
+CVE-2013-0214 (Potential XSRF in SWAT).
-Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.3 include:
+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.
- o Fix MS-DFS functionality (bug #7339).
- o Fix a Winbind crash when scanning trusts (bug #7389).
- o Fix problems with SIGCHLD handling in Winbind (bug #7317).
+ 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.
-Changes since 3.5.2
--------------------
+ 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.
-o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
- * BUG 7288: Fix SMB job IDs in CUPS job names.
- * BUG 7339: Fix MS-DFS functionality.
+Changes since 4.0.1:
+====================
+o Kai Blin <kai@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9576: CVE-2013-0213: Fix clickjacking issue in SWAT.
+ * BUG 9577: CVE-2013-0214: Fix potential XSRF in SWAT.
-o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
- * BUG 7354: Fix CLDAP tsocket problem on Solaris.

-o Ira Cooper <samba@ira.wakeful.net>
- * BUG 7384: Fix bitmap leak in dptr_Close.
+Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by
+joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
+If you do report problems then please try to send high quality
+feedback. If you don't provide vital information to help us track down

-o Günther Deschner <gd@samba.org>
- * BUG 7277: Fix exporting printers via 'cupsaddsmb' command.
- * BUG 7417: Fix setting of passwords via 'net rpc user password' command.
- * BUG 7418: Fix 'net rpc printer list' command.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------
-o Björn Jacke <bj@sernet.de>
- * BUG 7352: Make TIME_T_MAX defines consistent.
- * BUG 7385: Fix building with Solaris' gcc.
+ =============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.1
+ January 15, 2013
+ =============================
-o Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>
- * BUG 7315: Fix segfault in mount.cifs.
+This is a security release in order to address CVE-2013-0172.
-o Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org>
- * BUG 7357: Re-fix a bug with smbd serving a windows terminal server.
- * BUG 7389: Fix a Winbind crash when scanning trusts.
- * BUG 7398: Fix rename problems with full_audit VFS module.
+o CVE-2013-0172:
+ Samba 4.0.0 as an AD DC may provide authenticated users with write access
+ to LDAP directory objects.
+ 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.
-o Jim McDonough <jmcd@samba.org>
- * BUG 7378: Display an error on 'net conf import' failures.
+ Additionally, if a user has write access to any attribute on the object,
+ they may have access to write to all attributes.
+ 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.
-o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
- * BUG 7196: Add replacement for IPV6_V6ONLY on linux systems with broken
- headers.
- * BUG 7317: Fix problems with SIGCHLD handling in Winbind.
- * BUG 7354: Fix CLDAP tsocket problem on Solaris.

-o Luca Olivetti <luca@wetron.es>
- * BUG 7263: Fix cups encryption setting.
+Changes since 4.0.0:
+====================
+o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
+ * Bug 9554 - CVE-2013-0172 - Samba 4.0 as an AD DC may provide authenticated
+ users with write access to LDAP directory objects.

=============================
- Release Notes for Samba 3.5.2
- April 7, 2010
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.0
+ December 11, 2012
=============================
-This is the latest stable release of Samba 3.5.
+This is is the first stable release of Samba 4.0.
-Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.2 include:
+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'.
- o Fix smbd segfaults in _netr_SamLogon for clients sending null domain
- (bug #7237).
- o Fix smbd segfaults in "waiting for connections" message (bug #7251).
- o Fix an uninitialized variable read in smbd (bug #7254).
- o Fix a memleak in Winbind (bug #7278).
- o Fix Winbind reconnection to it's own domain (bug #7295).
+Major enhancements in Samba 4.0.0 include:
+Active Directory services
+=========================
-Changes since 3.5.1
--------------------
+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
+join and domain logon operations with these clients.
+Our Domain Controller (DC) implementation includes our own built-in
+LDAP server and Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) as well as the
+Samba3-like logon services provided over CIFS. We correctly generate
+the infamous Kerberos PAC, and include it with the Kerberos tickets we
+issue.
-o Michael Adam <obnox@samba.org>
- * BUG 7231: Fix automatic building of vfs_tsmsm if gpfs and dmapi are
- present.
- * BUG 7232: Fix race conditions in CTDB persistent transactions.
- * BUG 7313: Make 'net conf addshare' atomic.
- * BUG 7314: Eliminate race condition in creating/scanning sorted subkeys in
- the registry backend.
+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:
-o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
- * BUG 7075: Fix bug in vfs_scannedonly rmdir implementation.
- * BUG 7159: Fix handling of bad server data returns in client rpc_transport.
- * BUG 7234: Symlink delete fails but incorrectly reports success to client.
- * BUG 7255: Fix "printer admin" functionality.
- * BUG 7283: Fix smbd segfault if using vfs_acl_tdb.
- * BUG 7297: Fix smbd crashes with CUPS printers and no [printers] share defined.
- * BUG 7310: Fix DOS attribute inconsistency with MS Office.
+ http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO
-o Kai Blin <kai@samba.org>
- * BUG 7290: Fix core dump in 'ntlm_auth' with "gss-spnego" helper.
+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.
-o Günther Deschner <gd@samba.org>
- * BUG 6727: Fix several printing issues.
- * BUG 7237: Fix smbd segfaults in _netr_SamLogon for clients sending
- null domain.
- * BUG 7256: Fix value-needed calculation in_spoolss_EnumPrinterData().
- * BUG 7258: Fix _winreg_QueryValue crash bugs and implement Windows
- behavior.
+Samba 4.0 also ships with the 'NTVFS' file server. This file server
+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
+running example of the NT-FSA architecture we expect to move smbd to in
+the longer term.
+For pure file server work, the binaries users would expect from that
+series (smbd, nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available.
-o Holger Hetterich <hhetter@novell.com>
- * BUG 7203: Fix 'net share' command.
+DNS
+===
-o Michael Karcher <samba@mkarcher.dialup.fu-berlin.de>
- * BUG 7269: Fix job management commands for CUPS queues.
+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
+and a more elaborate BIND plugin using the BIND DLZ mechanism in versions
+9.8 and 9.9. During the provision, you can select which backend to use.
+With the internal backend, your DNS server is good to go.
+If you chose the BIND_DLZ backend, a configuration file will be generated
+for bind to make it use this plugin, as well as a file explaining how to
+set up bind.
-o Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>
- * BUG 6853: Fix race condition in mount.cifs that allows user to replace
- mountpoint with a symlink.
+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.
-o Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org>
- * BUG 5198: Fix parsing of the gecos field.
- * BUG 7202: Fix access by multi-threaded applications.
- * BUG 7212: Fix returning of group members with 'getent group'.
- * BUG 7216: Fix the build of net_afs.c with --fake-kaserver=yes.
- * BUG 7229: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in smbd.
- * BUG 7232: Fix race conditions in CTDB persistent transactions.
- * BUG 7254: Fix an uninitialized variable read in smbd.
- * BUG 7278: Fix a memleak in Winbind.
+Python Scripting Interface
+==========================
-o Roel van Meer <rolek@alt001.com>
- * BUG 6814: Fix valgrind warning.
+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.
-o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
- * BUG 7170: Never mark external domains as internal in Winbind.
- * BUG 7225: Make Winbind logs more verbose for troubleshooting.
- * BUG 7251: Fix smbd segfault in "waiting for connections" message.
- * BUG 7295: Fix Winbind reconnection to it's own domain.
- * BUG 7316: Winbind possibly segfaults when trying a trusted domain without
- inbound trust.
+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.
-o SATOH Fumiyasu <fumiyas@osstech.co.jp>
- * BUG 1206: Fix segfault if hide files or veto files has no ".AppleDouble".
+- 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.
-o Simo Sorce <idra@samba.org>
- * BUG 7204: Fix DN parsing name was always null.
+- Installation on systems without a system iconv (and developer
+ headers at compile time) is known to cause errors when dealing with
+ non-ASCII characters.
+- Domain member support in the 'samba' binary is in its infancy, and
+ is not comparable to the support found in winbindd. As such, do not
+ use the 'samba' binary (provided for the AD server) on a member
+ server.
-o Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.org>
- * BUG 7312: Many disconnecting clients render clustered Samba unusuable
- for some time.
+- 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).
-o Bo Yang <boyang@samba.org>
- * BUG 7206: Signals are processed twice in child.
+- 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
+=========
-Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by
-joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
+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.
-If you do report problems then please try to send high quality
-feedback. If you don't provide vital information to help us track down
-the problem then you will probably be ignored. All bug reports should
-be filed under the Samba 3.5 product in the project's Bugzilla
-database (https://bugzilla.samba.org/).
+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).
-======================================================================
-== Our Code, Our Bugs, Our Responsibility.
-== The Samba Team
-======================================================================
+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.

+Supported features
+==================
+A whitepaper of currently (un-)supported features is available on the wiki:
-This is a security release in order to address CVE-2010-0728.
+ https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_4.0_Whitepaper
-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.

- Release Notes for Samba 3.5.0
- March 1, 2010
- ===============================
+o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9414: Honor password complexity settings.
+ * BUG 9470: Fix MMC crashes.
+ * BUG 9481: Fix ACL on "cn=partitions,cn=configuration".
-This is the first stable release of Samba 3.5.
+o Andreas Schneider <asn@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9459: Install manpages only if we install the target.
-Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.0 include:
+o Richard Sharpe <realrichardsharpe@gmail.com>
+ * BUG 9460: Respond correctly to FILE_STREAM_INFO requests.
-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
+CHANGES SINCE 4.0.0rc5
+======================
-Printing Changes:
-o Add encryption support for connections to a CUPS server
+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.
-Winbind changes:
-o Major refactoring
-o Asynchronous
+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.
-VFS modules:
-o New vfs_scannedonly module has been added.
+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.
-General changes:
-================
+o Michael Adam <obnox@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9350: Fail "configure --with-ads" if ads support is not available.
+ * BUG 9446: Id mapping code delivers inconsistent results.
+ * BUG 9453: Fix building pdb_ldap as shared module.
-Support for full Windows timestamp resolution has been added. This effectively
-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.
+o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9236: ACL masks incorrectly applied when setting ACLs.
+ * BUG 9374: Allow smb2.acls torture test to pass against smbd with a POSIX
+ ACLs backend.
-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.
+o Christian Ambach <ambi@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9178: Add DMAPI configure option and checks.
+ * BUG 9274: Document shadow:snapdirseverywhere option of vfs_shadow_copy2.
+ * BUG 9339: Backport build fixes from master.
+ * BUG 9411: aio read marks the file as modified.

+ missing attributes.
+ * BUG 9421: Fix several build issues.
+ * BUG 9448: Backport several crash bugs from master.
-An EXPERIMENTAL implementation of the SMB2 protocol has been added. SMB2 can be
-enabled by setting "max protocol = smb2". SMB2 is a new implementation of the
-SMB protocol used by Windows Vista and higher.
-Printing Changes
-================
+o Sumit Bose <sbose@redhat.com>
+ * BUG 9367: Use work around for 'winbind use default domain' only if it
+ is set.
-A new parameter "cups encrypt" has been added to control whether connections to
-CUPS servers will be encrypted or not. The default is to use unencrypted
-connections.
-Winbind changes
-===============
+o Kai Blin <kai@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9399 - 'samba-tool dns serverinfo localhost' returns 'Memory
+ allocation error'.
+ * BUG 9449: Remove unused samba-dig tool.
-The Winbind daemon has been refactored internally to be asynchronous. The new
-Winbind will not be blocked by running 'getent group' or 'getent passwd'.
-VFS modules
-===========
+o Günther Deschner <gd@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9426: rpc_client: lookup nametype 0x20 in rpc_pipe_open_tcp_port().
+ * BUG 9439: Fix ncacn_ip_tcp reconnection code for lsa lookups.
+ * BUG 9451: Allow to force DNS updates using net.
-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.
+o David Disseldorp <ddiss@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9433: spoolss: Fix segfault when "default devmode" is disabled.
