+ ==============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.1.22
+ December 16, 2015
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address the following CVEs:
+
+o CVE-2015-7540 (Remote DoS in Samba (AD) LDAP server)
+o CVE-2015-3223 (Denial of service in Samba Active Directory
+ server)
+o CVE-2015-5252 (Insufficient symlink verification in smbd)
+o CVE-2015-5299 (Missing access control check in shadow copy
+ code)
+o CVE-2015-5296 (Samba client requesting encryption vulnerable
+ to downgrade attack)
+o CVE-2015-8467 (Denial of service attack against Windows
+ Active Directory server)
+o CVE-2015-5330 (Remote memory read in Samba LDAP server)
+
+Please note that if building against a system libldb, the required
+version has been bumped to ldb-1.1.24. This is needed to ensure
+we build against a system ldb library that contains the fixes
+for CVE-2015-5330 and CVE-2015-3223.
+
+=======
+Details
+=======
+
+o CVE-2015-7540:
+ All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.1.21 inclusive are vulnerable to
+ an anonymous memory exhaustion attack in the samba daemon LDAP server.
+
+ A malicious client can send packets that cause the LDAP server provided
+ by the AD DC in the samba daemon process to consume unlimited memory
+ and be terminated.
+
+o CVE-2015-3223:
+ All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive (resp. all
+ ldb versions up to 1.1.23 inclusive) are vulnerable to
+ a denial of service attack in the samba daemon LDAP server.
+
+ A malicious client can send packets that cause the LDAP server in the
+ samba daemon process to become unresponsive, preventing the server
+ from servicing any other requests.
+
+ This flaw is not exploitable beyond causing the code to loop expending
+ CPU resources.
+
+o CVE-2015-5252:
+ All versions of Samba from 3.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive are vulnerable to
+ a bug in symlink verification, which under certain circumstances could
+ allow client access to files outside the exported share path.
+
+ If a Samba share is configured with a path that shares a common path
+ prefix with another directory on the file system, the smbd daemon may
+ allow the client to follow a symlink pointing to a file or directory
+ in that other directory, even if the share parameter "wide links" is
+ set to "no" (the default).
+
+o CVE-2015-5299:
+ All versions of Samba from 3.2.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive are vulnerable to
+ a missing access control check in the vfs_shadow_copy2 module. When
+ looking for the shadow copy directory under the share path the current
+ accessing user should have DIRECTORY_LIST access rights in order to
+ view the current snapshots.
+
+ This was not being checked in the affected versions of Samba.
+
+o CVE-2015-5296:
+ Versions of Samba from 3.2.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive do not ensure that
+ signing is negotiated when creating an encrypted client connection to
+ a server.
+
+ Without this a man-in-the-middle attack could downgrade the connection
+ and connect using the supplied credentials as an unsigned, unencrypted
+ connection.
+
+o CVE-2015-8467:
+ Samba, operating as an AD DC, is sometimes operated in a domain with a
+ mix of Samba and Windows Active Directory Domain Controllers.
+
+ All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive, when deployed as
+ an AD DC in the same domain with Windows DCs, could be used to
+ override the protection against the MS15-096 / CVE-2015-2535 security
+ issue in Windows.
+
+ Prior to MS16-096 it was possible to bypass the quota of machine
+ accounts a non-administrative user could create. Pure Samba domains
+ are not impacted, as Samba does not implement the
+ SeMachineAccountPrivilege functionality to allow non-administrator
+ users to create new computer objects.
+
+o CVE-2015-5330:
+ All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive (resp. all
+ ldb versions up to 1.1.23 inclusive) are vulnerable to
+ a remote memory read attack in the samba daemon LDAP server.
+
+ A malicious client can send packets that cause the LDAP server in the
+ samba daemon process to return heap memory beyond the length of the
+ requested value.
+
+ This memory may contain data that the client should not be allowed to
+ see, allowing compromise of the server.
+
+ The memory may either be returned to the client in an error string, or
+ stored in the database by a suitabily privileged user. If untrusted
+ users can create objects in your database, please confirm that all DN
+ and name attributes are reasonable.
