                   Release Notes for Samba 3.6.23
                           March 11, 2014
                   ==============================


This is a security release in order to address
CVE-2013-4496 (Password lockout not enforced for SAMR password changes).

o  CVE-2013-4496:
   Samba versions 3.4.0 and above allow the administrator to implement
   locking out Samba accounts after a number of bad password attempts.

   However, all released versions of Samba did not implement this check for
   password changes, such as are available over multiple SAMR and RAP
   interfaces, allowing password guessing attacks.


Changes since 3.6.22:
---------------------

o   Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
    * BUG 10245: CVE-2013-4496: Enforce password lockout for SAMR password
      changes.


o   Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
    * BUG 10245: CVE-2013-4496: Enforce password lockout for SAMR password
      changes.

                   Release Notes for Samba 3.6.22
                          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.


Changes since 3.6.21:
---------------------

o   Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
    * BUG 10185: CVE-2013-4408: Correctly check DCE-RPC fragment length field.


o   Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
    * BUG 10185: CVE-2013-4408: Correctly check DCE-RPC fragment length field.


o   Noel Power <noel.power@suse.com>
    * BUGs 10300, 10306: CVE-2012-6150: Fail authentication if user isn't
      member of *any* require_membership_of specified groups.

                   ==============================
                   Release Notes for Samba 3.6.20
                         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).

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.


Changes since 3.6.19:
---------------------

o   Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
    * BUGs 10234 + 10229: CVE-2013-4475: Fix access check verification on stream
      files.

                   ==============================


This is is the latest maintenance release of Samba 3.6.

                   Release Notes for Samba 3.6.17
                          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 3.6.16:
---------------------

o   Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
    * BUG 10010: CVE-2013-4124: Missing integer wrap protection in EA list
      reading can cause server to loop with DOS.

o   Volker Lendecke <vl@samba.org>
    * BUG 9727: wkssvc: Fix NULL pointer dereference.
    * BUG 9736: smbd: Tune "dir" a bit.
    * BUG 9775: Fix segfault for "artificial" conn_structs.

    * BUG 9735: Fix Winbind separator in upn to username conversion.
    * BUG 9766: Cache name_to_sid/sid_to_name correctly.


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 3.6.12
                          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.


Changes since 3.6.11:
--------------------

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.

                   =============================
                   Release Notes for Samba 3.6.0
                          August 9, 2011
                   =============================


This is the first release of Samba 3.6.0.

Major enhancements in Samba 3.6.0 include:


Changed security defaults
-------------------------

Samba 3.6 has adopted a number of improved security defaults that will
impact on existing users of Samba.

 client ntlmv2 auth = yes
 client use spnego principal = no
 send spnego principal = no

The impact of 'client ntlmv2 auth = yes' is that by default we will not
use NTLM authentication as a client.  This applies to the Samba client
tools such as smbclient and winbind, but does not change the separately
released in-kernel CIFS client.  To re-enable the poorer NTLM encryption
set '--option=clientusentlmv2auth=no' on your smbclient command line, or
set 'client ntlmv2 auth = no' in your smb.conf

The impact of 'client use spnego principal = no' is that Samba will
use CIFS/hostname to obtain a kerberos ticket, acting more like
Windows when using Kerberos against a CIFS server in smbclient,
winbind and other Samba client tools.  This will change which servers
we will successfully negotiate kerberos connections to.  This is due
to Samba no longer trusting a server-provided hint which is not
available from Windows 2008 or later.  For correct operation with all
clients, all aliases for a server should be recorded as a as a
servicePrincipalName on the server's record in AD.  (For this reason,
this behavior change and parameter was also made in Samba 3.5.9)

The impact of 'send spnego principal = no' is to match Windows 2008 and
not to send this principal, making existing clients give more consistent
behaviour (more likely to fall back to NTLMSSP) between Samba and
Windows 2008, and between Windows versions that did and no longer use
this insecure hint.


SMB2 support
------------

SMB2 support in 3.6.0 is fully functional (with one omission),
and can be enabled by setting:

max protocol = SMB2

in the [global] section of your smb.conf and re-starting
Samba. All features should work over SMB2 except the modification
of user quotas using the Windows quota management tools.

As this is the first release containing what we consider
to be a fully featured SMB2 protocol, we are not enabling
this by default, but encourage users to enable SMB2 and
test it. Once we have enough confirmation from Samba
users and OEMs that SMB2 support is stable in wide user
testing we will enable SMB2 by default in a future Samba
release.


Internal Winbind passdb changes
-------------------------------

Winbind has been changed to use the internal samr and lsa rpc pipe to get
local user and group information instead of calling passdb functions. The
reason is to use more of our infrastructure and test this infrastructure by
using it. With this approach more code in Winbind is shared.


New Spoolss code
----------------

The spoolss and the old RAP printing code have been completely
overhauled and refactored.

All calls from lanman/printing code has been changed to go through the
spoolss RPC interfaces, this allows us to keep all checks in one place
and avoid special cases in the main printing code.
Printing code has been therefore confined within the spoolss code.

All the printing code, including the spoolss RPC interfaces has been
changed to use the winreg RPC interfaces to store all data.
All data has been migrated from custom, arbitrary TDB files to the
registry interface. This transition allow us to present correct data to
windows client accessing the server registry through the winreg RPC
interfaces to query for printer data. Data is served out from a real
registry implementation and therefore arguably 100% forward compatible.

Migration code from the previous TDB files formats is provided. This
code is automatically invoked the first time the new code is run on the
server. Although manual migration is also available using the 'net
printer migrate' command.

These changes not only make all the spoolss code much more closer to
"the spec", it also greatly improves our internal testing of both
spoolss and winreg interfaces, and reduces overall code duplication.

As part of this work, new tests have been also added to increase
coverage.

This code will also allow, in future, an easy transition to split out
the spooling functions into a separate daemon for those OEMs that do not
need printing functionality in their appliances, reducing the code
footprint.


ID Mapping Changes
------------------

The id mapping configuration has been a source of much grief in the past.
For this release, id mapping has been rewritten yet again with the goal
of making the configuration more simple and more coherent while keeping
the needed flexibility and even adding to the flexibility in some respects.

The major change that implies the configuration simplifications is at
the heart of the id mapping system: The separation of the "idmap alloc
system" that is responsible for the unix id counters in the tdb, tdb2
and ldap idmap backends from the id mapping code itself has been removed.
The sids_to_unixids operation is now atomic and encapsulates (if needed)
the action of allocating a unix id for a mapping that is to be created.
Consequently all idmap alloc configuration parameters have vanished and
it is hence now also not possible any more to specify an idmap alloc
backend different from the idmap backend. Each idmap backend uses its
own idmap unixid creation mechanism transparently.

As a consequence of the id mapping changes, the methods that are used
for storing and deleting id mappings have been removed from the winbindd
API. The "net idmap dump/restore" commands have been rewritten to
not speak through winbindd any more but directly act on the databases.
This is currently available for the tdb and tdb2 backends, the implementation
for ldap still missing.

The allocate_id functionality is preserved for the unix id creator of the
default idmap configuration is also used as the source of unix ids
for the group mapping database and for the posix attributes in a
ldapsam:editposix setup.

As part of the changes, the default idmap configuration has been
changed to be more coherent with the per-domain configuration.
The parameters "idmap uid", "idmap gid" and "idmap range" are now
deprecated in favour of the systematic "idmap config * : range"
and "idmap config * : backend" parameters. The reason for this change
is that the old options only provided an incomplete and hence deceiving
backwards compatibility, which was a source of many problems with
upgrades. By introducing this change in configuration, it should be
brought to the conciousness of the users that even the simple
id mapping is not working exactly as in Samba 3.0 versions any more.


Endpoint Mapper
---------------

As Microsoft is more and more relying on endpoint mapper and we didn't have a
complete implementation we decided to create an instance for Samba. The
endpoint mapper is like a DNS server but for ports. If you want to talk to a
certain RPC service over TCP/IP, you just ask the endpoint mapper on which
port it is running. Then you can connect to the service and make sure that it
is running.

The code is deactivated by default, because it needs more testing and it
doesn't scale yet. If you want to enable and test the endpoint mapper
you can set "rpc_server:epmapper = daemon" in the smb.conf file.


Internal restructuring
----------------------

Ongoing internal restructuring for better separation of internal subsystem to
achieve a faster build, smaller binaries and cleaner dependencies for the samba3
waf build.


SMB Traffic Analyzer
--------------------

Added the new SMB Traffic Analyzer (SMBTA) VFS module protocol 2
featuring encryption, multiple arguments, and easier parseability. A new
tool 'smbta-util' has been created to control the encryption behaviour
of SMBTA. For compatibility, SMBTA by default operates on version 1.
There are programs consuming the data that the module sends.

More information can be found on
http://holger123.wordpress.com/smb-traffic-analyzer/


NFS quota backend on Linux
--------------------------

A new nfs quota backend for Linux has been added that is based
on the existing Solaris/FreeBSD implementation. This allows samba
to communicate correct diskfree information for nfs imports that
are re-exported as samba shares.

   The variable substitutions for %i and %I no longer
   use IPv4 addresses mapped to IPv6, e.g. '::ffff:192.168.0.1',
   if the host has IPv6 enabled. Now %i and %I contain just
   '192.168.0.1'.
