-What's new in Samba 4 alpha21
-=============================
+ =============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.4
+ March 19, 2013
+ =============================
-Samba 4.0 will be the next version of the Samba suite and incorporates
-all the technology found in both the Samba4 alpha 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 is a security release in order to address CVE-2013-1863
+(World-writeable files may be created in additional shares on a
+Samba 4.0 AD DC).
-WARNINGS
-========
+o CVE-2013-1863:
+ Administrators of the Samba 4.0 Active Directory Domain
+ Controller might unexpectedly find files created world-writeable
+ if additional CIFS file shares are created on the AD DC.
+ Samba versions 4.0.0rc6 - 4.0.3 (inclusive) are affected by this
+ defect.
-Samba4 alpha21 is not a final Samba release, however we are now making
-good progress towards a Samba 4.0 release, of which this is a preview.
-Be aware the 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'.
-Samba4 is subjected to an awesome battery of tests on an automated
-basis, we have found Samba 4.0 to be very stable in it's behavior.
-However, we still recommend against upgrading production servers from
-Samba 3.x release to Samba 4.0 alpha at this stage.
+Changes since 4.0.3:
+--------------------
-In particular note that the new default configuration 's3fs' may have
-different stability characteristics compared with our previous default
-file server. We are making this release so that we can find and fix
-any of these issues that arise in the real world. New AD DC installations
-can provision with --use-ntvfs to obtain the previous default file
-server. Existing installations will be unaffected at this stage.
+o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
+ * BUG 9709: CVE-2013-1863: Remove forced set of 'create mask' to 0777.
-If you are upgrading, or looking to develop, test or deploy Samba 4.0
-alpha releases, you should backup all configuration and data.

+ 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).
-Samba 4.0 alpha supports the server-side of the Active Directory logon
+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.

+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.1
+ January 15, 2013
+ =============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address CVE-2013-0172.
+
+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.
+
+ 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.
+
+Changes since 4.0.0:

+ Release Notes for Samba 4.0.0
+ December 11, 2012
+ =============================
+
+
+This is is the first stable release of Samba 4.0.
+
+This release contains the best of all of Samba's

+
+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
join and domain logon operations with these clients.

+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. For pure file server work, the binaries users would expect
-from that series (nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available.

+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

-CHANGES SINCE alpha20
-=====================
-For a list of changes since alpha20, please see the git log.
+DNS
+===
-$ git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git
-$ cd samba.git
-$ git log samba-4.0.0alpha20..samba-4.0.0alpha21
+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.
-Some major user-visible changes include:
-For installations that do not need an AD Domain controller, we can now
-build using MIT Kerberos from the local system. This is important for
-some distributors. This is enabled with the new --with-system-mitkrb5
-configure option. A synonym is the new --without-ad-dc option.
+NTP
+===
-The 's3fs' effort has moved to a new stage, with this now being the
-default mode of operation for new provisions.
+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.
-The BIND 9 DLZ plugin has had some stability improvements under BIND reloads.
-The 'samba-tool domain samba3upgrade' tool will now generally import
-all group members, and correctly imports domain password policies.
+Python Scripting Interface
+==========================
-Some major but less visible changes include:
+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.
-Continued early implementation work on the SMB 2.2 protocol client and server as
-the team improves and develops support these new protocols.
-
-KNOWN ISSUES
+Known Issues
============
-- We are making this alpha release to gain real-world use of the 's3fs'
- file server combination we will use for the Samba 4.0 release.
- Users should expect some rough edges: in particular, there are
- warnings about invalid parameters from the two respective parameter
- parsing engines.
+- 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.
-- There have been improvements to FreeBSD support, but more work is
- still required to finish this effort
+- Replication may fail on FreeBSD due to getaddrinfo() rejecting names
+ containing _. A workaround will be in a future release.
-- upgradeprovision should not be run when upgrading to this 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.
+ 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.
-- Domain member support in the 'samba' binary is in it's infancy, and
+- 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.
-- There is no NetBIOS browsing support (network neighbourhood) in the
- 'samba' binary (use nmbd and smbd instead)
+- 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
- The DRS replication code may fail. Please contact the team if you
experience issues with DRS replication, as we have fixed many issues

-RUNNING Samba 4.0 as an AD DC
-=============================
+- Linux inotify will now only be supported on systems where glibc also supports
+ it (for details, please refer to bug #8850).
-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
+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.

+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
+======================
+
+With this release candidate the location of the socket samba accepts
+connections from NTPd has changed, as has the enforced permissions.
+
+This means the ntp.conf will need to change from (eg)
+
+ntpsigndsocket /usr/local/samba/var/run/ntp_signd/
+
+to
+
+ntpsigndsocket /usr/local/samba/var/lib/ntp_signd/
+
+To use the socket with ntp on a system with an ntp user and group, you must
+run:
+
+chgrp ntp /usr/local/samba/var/lib/ntp_signd/
