161 =============================
162 Release Notes for Samba 4.3.3
164 =============================
167 This is a security release in order to address the following CVEs:
169 o CVE-2015-3223 (Denial of service in Samba Active Directory
171 o CVE-2015-5252 (Insufficient symlink verification in smbd)
172 o CVE-2015-5299 (Missing access control check in shadow copy
174 o CVE-2015-5296 (Samba client requesting encryption vulnerable
176 o CVE-2015-8467 (Denial of service attack against Windows
177 Active Directory server)
178 o CVE-2015-5330 (Remote memory read in Samba LDAP server)
180 Please note that if building against a system libldb, the required
181 version has been bumped to ldb-1.1.24. This is needed to ensure
182 we build against a system ldb library that contains the fixes
183 for CVE-2015-5330 and CVE-2015-3223.
190 All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive (resp. all
191 ldb versions up to 1.1.23 inclusive) are vulnerable to
192 a denial of service attack in the samba daemon LDAP server.
194 A malicious client can send packets that cause the LDAP server in the
195 samba daemon process to become unresponsive, preventing the server
196 from servicing any other requests.
198 This flaw is not exploitable beyond causing the code to loop expending
202 All versions of Samba from 3.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive are vulnerable to
203 a bug in symlink verification, which under certain circumstances could
204 allow client access to files outside the exported share path.
206 If a Samba share is configured with a path that shares a common path
207 prefix with another directory on the file system, the smbd daemon may
208 allow the client to follow a symlink pointing to a file or directory
209 in that other directory, even if the share parameter "wide links" is
210 set to "no" (the default).
213 All versions of Samba from 3.2.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive are vulnerable to
214 a missing access control check in the vfs_shadow_copy2 module. When
215 looking for the shadow copy directory under the share path the current
216 accessing user should have DIRECTORY_LIST access rights in order to
217 view the current snapshots.
219 This was not being checked in the affected versions of Samba.
222 Versions of Samba from 3.2.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive do not ensure that
223 signing is negotiated when creating an encrypted client connection to
226 Without this a man-in-the-middle attack could downgrade the connection
227 and connect using the supplied credentials as an unsigned, unencrypted
231 Samba, operating as an AD DC, is sometimes operated in a domain with a
232 mix of Samba and Windows Active Directory Domain Controllers.
234 All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive, when deployed as
235 an AD DC in the same domain with Windows DCs, could be used to
236 override the protection against the MS15-096 / CVE-2015-2535 security
239 Prior to MS16-096 it was possible to bypass the quota of machine
240 accounts a non-administrative user could create. Pure Samba domains
241 are not impacted, as Samba does not implement the
242 SeMachineAccountPrivilege functionality to allow non-administrator
243 users to create new computer objects.
246 All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive (resp. all
247 ldb versions up to 1.1.23 inclusive) are vulnerable to
248 a remote memory read attack in the samba daemon LDAP server.
250 A malicious client can send packets that cause the LDAP server in the
251 samba daemon process to return heap memory beyond the length of the
254 This memory may contain data that the client should not be allowed to
255 see, allowing compromise of the server.
257 The memory may either be returned to the client in an error string, or
258 stored in the database by a suitabily privileged user. If untrusted
259 users can create objects in your database, please confirm that all DN
260 and name attributes are reasonable.
266 o Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
267 * BUG 11552: CVE-2015-8467: samdb: Match MS15-096 behaviour for
270 o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
271 * BUG 11325: CVE-2015-3223: Fix LDAP \00 search expression attack DoS.
272 * BUG 11395: CVE-2015-5252: Fix insufficient symlink verification (file
273 access outside the share).
274 * BUG 11529: CVE-2015-5299: s3-shadow-copy2: Fix missing access check on
277 o Douglas Bagnall <douglas.bagnall@catalyst.net.nz>
278 * BUG 11599: CVE-2015-5330: Fix remote read memory exploit in LDB.
280 o Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org>
281 * BUG 11536: CVE-2015-5296: Add man in the middle protection when forcing
282 smb encryption on the client side.

473 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
476 =============================
477 Release Notes for Samba 4.3.0
479 =============================
482 This is the first stable release of Samba 4.3.
488 Read the "New FileChangeNotify subsystem" and "smb.conf changes" sections
498 The logging code now supports logging to multiple backends. In
499 addition to the previously available syslog and file backends, the
500 backends for logging to the systemd-journal, lttng and gpfs have been
501 added. Please consult the section for the 'logging' parameter in the
502 smb.conf manpage for details.
507 Support for Apple's Spotlight has been added by integrating with Gnome
510 For detailed instructions how to build and setup Samba for Spotlight,
511 please see the Samba wiki: <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight>
513 New FileChangeNotify subsystem
514 ------------------------------
516 Samba now contains a new subsystem to do FileChangeNotify. The
517 previous system used a central database, notify_index.tdb, to store
518 all notification requests. In particular in a cluster this turned out
519 to be a major bottleneck, because some hot records need to be bounced
520 back and forth between nodes on every change event like a new created
523 The new FileChangeNotify subsystem works with a central daemon per
524 node. Every FileChangeNotify request and every event are handled by an
525 asynchronous message from smbd to the notify daemon. The notify daemon
526 maintains a database of all FileChangeNotify requests in memory and
527 will distribute the notify events accordingly. This database is
528 asynchronously distributed in the cluster by the notify daemons.
530 The notify daemon is supposed to scale a lot better than the previous
531 implementation. The functional advantage is cross-node kernel change
532 notify: Files created via NFS will be seen by SMB clients on other
533 nodes per FileChangeNotify, despite the fact that popular cluster file
534 systems do not offer cross-node inotify.
536 Two changes to the configuration were required for this new subsystem:
537 The parameters "change notify" and "kernel change notify" are not
538 per-share anymore but must be set globally. So it is no longer
539 possible to enable or disable notify per share, the notify daemon has
540 no notion of a share, it only works on absolute paths.
542 New SMB profiling code
543 ----------------------
545 The code for SMB (SMB1, SMB2 and SMB3) profiling uses a tdb instead
546 of sysv IPC shared memory. This avoids performance problems and NUMA
547 effects. The profile stats are a bit more detailed than before.
549 Improved DCERPC man in the middle detection for kerberos
550 --------------------------------------------------------
552 The gssapi based kerberos backends for gensec have support for
553 DCERPC header signing when using DCERPC_AUTH_LEVEL_PRIVACY.
555 SMB signing required in winbindd by default
556 -------------------------------------------
558 The effective value for "client signing" is required
559 by default for winbindd, if the primary domain uses active directory.
561 Experimental NTDB was removed
562 -----------------------------
564 The experimental NTDB library introduced in Samba 4.0 has been
567 Improved support for trusted domains (as AD DC)
568 -----------------------------------------------
570 The support for trusted domains/forests has improved a lot.
572 samba-tool got "domain trust" subcommands to manage trusts:
574 create - Create a domain or forest trust.
575 delete - Delete a domain trust.
576 list - List domain trusts.
577 namespaces - Manage forest trust namespaces.
578 show - Show trusted domain details.
579 validate - Validate a domain trust.
581 External trusts between individual domains work in both ways
582 (inbound and outbound). The same applies to root domains of
583 a forest trust. The transitive routing into the other forest
584 is fully functional for kerberos, but not yet supported for NTLMSSP.
586 While a lot of things are working fine, there are currently a few limitations:
588 - Both sides of the trust need to fully trust each other!
589 - No SID filtering rules are applied at all!
590 - This means DCs of domain A can grant domain admin rights
592 - It's not possible to add users/groups of a trusted domain
598 Both client and server have support for SMB 3.1.1 now.
600 This is the dialect introduced with Windows 10, it improves the secure
601 negotiation of SMB dialects and features.
603 There's also a new optinal encryption algorithm aes-gcm-128,
604 but for now this is only selected as fallback and aes-ccm-128
605 is preferred because of the better performance. This might change
606 in future versions when hardware encryption will be supported.
607 See https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11451.
609 New smbclient subcommands
610 -------------------------
612 - Query a directory for change notifications: notify <dir name>
613 - Server side copy: scopy <source filename> <destination filename>
615 New rpcclient subcommands
616 -------------------------
618 netshareenumall - Enumerate all shares
619 netsharegetinfo - Get Share Info
620 netsharesetinfo - Set Share Info
621 netsharesetdfsflags - Set DFS flags
622 netfileenum - Enumerate open files
623 netnamevalidate - Validate sharename
624 netfilegetsec - Get File security
625 netsessdel - Delete Session
626 netsessenum - Enumerate Sessions
627 netdiskenum - Enumerate Disks
628 netconnenum - Enumerate Connections
629 netshareadd - Add share
630 netsharedel - Delete share
635 idmap_script - see 'man 8 idmap_script'
636 vfs_unityed_media - see 'man 8 vfs_unityed_media'
637 vfs_shell_snap - see 'man 8 vfs_shell_snap'
639 New sparsely connected replia graph (Improved KCC)
640 --------------------------------------------------
642 The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) maintains a replication graph
643 for DCs across an AD network. The existing Samba KCC uses a fully
644 connected graph, so that each DC replicates from all the others, which
645 does not scale well with large networks. In 4.3 there is an
646 experimental new KCC that creates a sparsely connected replication
647 graph and closely follows Microsoft's specification. It is turned off
648 by default. To use the new KCC, set "kccsrv:samba_kcc=true" in
649 smb.conf and let us know how it goes. You should consider doing this
650 if you are making a large new network. For small networks there is
651 little benefit and you can always switch over at a later date.
653 Configurable TLS protocol support, with better defaults
654 -------------------------------------------------------
656 The "tls priority" option can be used to change the supported TLS
657 protocols. The default is to disable SSLv3, which is no longer
660 Samba-tool now supports all 7 FSMO roles
661 -------------------------------------------------------
663 Previously "samba-tool fsmo" could only show, transfer or seize the
664 five well-known FSMO roles:
670 Infrastructure Master
672 It can now also show, transfer or seize the DNS infrastructure roles:
674 DomainDnsZones Infrastructure Master
675 ForestDnsZones Infrastructure Master
680 The destination for CTDB logging is now set via a single new
681 configuration variable CTDB_LOGGING. This replaces CTDB_LOGFILE and
682 CTDB_SYSLOG, which have both been removed. See ctdbd.conf(5) for
683 details of CTDB_LOGGING.
685 CTDB no longer runs a separate logging daemon.
687 CTDB NFS support changes
688 ------------------------
690 CTDB's NFS service management has been combined into a single 60.nfs
691 event script. This updated 60.nfs script now uses a call-out to
692 interact with different NFS implementations. See the CTDB_NFS_CALLOUT
693 option in the ctdbd.conf(5) manual page for details. A default
694 call-out is provided to interact with the Linux kernel NFS
695 implementation. The 60.ganesha event script has been removed - a
696 sample call-out is provided for NFS Ganesha, based on this script.
698 The method of configuring NFS RPC checks has been improved. See
699 ctdb/config/nfs-checks.d/README for details.
701 Improved Cross-Compiling Support
702 --------------------------------
704 A new "hybrid" build configuration mode is added to improve
705 cross-compilation support.
707 A common challenge in cross-compilation is that of obtaining the results
708 of tests that have to run on the target, during the configuration
709 phase of the build. The Samba build system already supports the following
712 - Executing configure tests using the --cross-execute parameter
713 - Obtaining the results from an answers file using the --cross-answers
716 The first method has the drawback of inaccurate results if the tests are
717 run using an emulator, or a need to be connected to a running target
718 while building, if the tests are to be run on an actual target. The
719 second method presents a challenge of figuring out the test results.
721 The new hybrid mode runs the tests and records the result in an answer file.
722 To activate this mode, use both --cross-execute and --cross-answers in the
723 same configure invocation. This mode can be activated once against a
724 running target, and then the generated answers file can be used in
727 Also supplied is an example script that can be used as the
728 cross-execute program. This script copies the test to a running target
729 and runs the test on the target, obtaining the result. The obtained
730 results are more accurate than running the test with an emulator, because
731 they reflect the exact kernel and system libraries that exist on the
734 Improved Sparse File Support
735 ----------------------------
736 Support for the FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA and FSCTL_QUERY_ALLOCATED_RANGES
737 SMB2 requests has been added to the smbd file server.
738 This allows for clients to deallocate (hole punch) regions within a
739 sparse file, and check which portions of a file are allocated.
