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. Changes since 4.13.1 -------------------- o Jeremy Allison * BUG 14486: s3: modules: vfs_glusterfs: Fix leak of char **lines onto mem_ctx on return. o Ralph Boehme * BUG 14471: RN: vfs_zfsacl: Only grant DELETE_CHILD if ACL tag is special. o Alexander Bokovoy * BUG 14538: smb.conf.5: Add clarification how configuration changes reflected by Samba. * BUG 14552: daemons: Report status to systemd even when running in foreground. * BUG 14553: DNS Resolver: Support both dnspython before and after 2.0.0. o Günther Deschner * BUG 14486: s3-vfs_glusterfs: Refuse connection when write-behind xlator is present. o Amitay Isaacs * BUG 14487: provision: Add support for BIND 9.16.x. * BUG 14537: ctdb-common: Avoid aliasing errors during code optimization. * BUG 14541: libndr: Avoid assigning duplicate versions to symbols. o Björn Jacke * BUG 14522: docs: Fix default value of spoolss:architecture. o Laurent Menase * BUG 14388: winbind: Fix a memleak. o Stefan Metzmacher * BUG 14531: s4:dsdb:acl_read: Implement "List Object" mode feature. o Sachin Prabhu * BUG 14486: docs-xml/manpages: Add warning about write-behind translator for vfs_glusterfs. o Khem Raj * nsswitch/nsstest.c: Avoid nss function conflicts with glibc nss.h. o Anoop C S * BUG 14530: vfs_shadow_copy2: Avoid closing snapsdir twice. o Andreas Schneider * BUG 14547: third_party: Update resolv_wrapper to version 1.1.7. * BUG 14550: examples:auth: Do not install example plugin. o Martin Schwenke * BUG 14513: ctdb-recoverd: Drop unnecessary and broken code. o Andrew Walker * BUG 14471: RN: vfs_zfsacl: Only grant DELETE_CHILD if ACL tag is special. ####################################### Reporting bugs & Development Discussion ####################################### Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.

All bug reports should be filed under the Samba 4.1 and newer product in the project's Bugzilla database (https://bugzilla.samba.org/). ====================================================================== == Our Code, Our Bugs, Our Responsibility. == The Samba Team ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================== 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 * 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 * 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 * BUG 14436: CVE-2020-14323: winbind: Fix invalid lookupsids DoS. ####################################### Reporting bugs & Development Discussion ####################################### 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 the problem then you will probably be ignored. All bug reports should be filed under the Samba 4.1 and newer product in the project's Bugzilla database (https://bugzilla.samba.org/). ====================================================================== == Our Code, Our Bugs, Our Responsibility. == The Samba Team ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================== 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 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. 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 ------------------------ For this release, the code implementing the insecure "wide links = yes" functionality has been moved out of the core smbd code and into a separate VFS module, vfs_widelinks. Currently this vfs module is implicitly loaded by smbd as the last but one module before vfs_default if "wide links = yes" is enabled on the share (note, the existing restrictions on enabling wide links around the SMB1 "unix extensions" and the "allow insecure wide links" parameters are still in force). The implicit loading was done to allow existing users of "wide links = yes" to keep this functionality without having to make a change to existing working smb.conf files. Please note that the Samba developers recommend changing any Samba installations that currently use "wide links = yes" to use bind mounts as soon as possible, as "wide links = yes" is an inherently insecure configuration which we would like to remove from Samba. Moving the feature into a VFS module allows this to be done in a cleaner way in future. A future release to be determined will remove this implicit linkage, causing administrators who need this functionality to have to explicitly 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 Added No smb2 disable oplock break retry Added No domain logons Deprecated no raw NTLMv2 auth Deprecated no client plaintext auth Deprecated no client NTLMv2 auth Deprecated yes client lanman auth Deprecated no client use spnego Deprecated yes server require schannel:COMPUTER Added CHANGES SINCE 4.13.0rc5 ======================= o Jeremy Allison * BUG 14497: CVE-2020-1472(ZeroLogon): s3:rpc_server/netlogon: Protect netr_ServerPasswordSet2 against unencrypted passwords. o Günther Deschner * BUG 14497: CVE-2020-1472(ZeroLogon): s3:rpc_server/netlogon: Support "server require schannel:WORKSTATION$ = no" about unsecure configurations. o Gary Lockyer * BUG 14497: CVE-2020-1472(ZeroLogon): s4 torture rpc: repeated bytes in client challenge. o Stefan Metzmacher * BUG 14497: CVE-2020-1472(ZeroLogon): libcli/auth: Reject weak client challenges in netlogon_creds_server_init() "server require schannel:WORKSTATION$ = no".
