+ 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).
+
+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:
+====================
+
+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 4.0.0
December 11, 2012
the infamous Kerberos PAC, and include it with the Kerberos tickets we
issue.
+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
=============
default.
Samba 4.0 also ships with the 'NTVFS' file server. This file server
-is what was used in all previous releases of Samba 4.0, and is
+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
the longer term.
For pure file server work, the binaries users would expect from that
-series (smbd, nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available. 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.
+series (smbd, nmbd, winbindd, smbpasswd) continue to be available.
DNS
Known Issues
============
-- 'samba-tool domain classicupgrade' will fail when setting ACLs on
- the GPO folders with NT_STATUS_INVALID_ONWER in the default
- configuration. This happens if, as is typical a 'domain admins'
- group (-512) is mapped in the passdb backend being upgraded. This
- is because the group mapping to a GID only prevents Samba from
- allocating a uid for that group. The uid is needed so the 'domain
- admins' group can own the GPO file objects.
-
- To work around this issue, remove the 'domain admins' group before
- upgrade, as it will be re-created automatically. You will
- of course need to fill in the group membership again. A future release
- will make this automatic, or find some other workaround.
-
-- This release makes the s3fs file server the default, as this is the
- file server combination we will use for the Samba 4.0 release.
-
-- For similar reasons, sites with ACLs stored by the ntvfs file server
- may wish to continue to use that file server implementation, as a
- posix ACL will similarly not be set in this case.
-
- 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
it (for details, please refer to bug #8850).
-Running Samba 4.0 as an AD DC

Upgrading
