Release Notes for Samba 3.6.20
November 11, 2013
==============================
This is a security release in order to address
CVE-2013-4475 (ACLs are not checked on opening an alternate
data stream on a file or directory).
o CVE-2013-4475:
Samba versions 3.2.0 and above (all versions of 3.2.x, 3.3.x,
3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 4.0.x and 4.1.x) do not check the underlying
file or directory ACL when opening an alternate data stream.
According to the SMB1 and SMB2+ protocols the ACL on an underlying
file or directory should control what access is allowed to alternate
data streams that are associated with the file or directory.
By default no version of Samba supports alternate data streams
on files or directories.
Samba can be configured to support alternate data streams by loading
either one of two virtual file system modues (VFS) vfs_streams_depot or
vfs_streams_xattr supplied with Samba, so this bug only affects Samba
servers configured this way.
To determine if your server is vulnerable, check for the strings
"streams_depot" or "streams_xattr" inside your smb.conf configuration
file.

Release Notes for Samba 3.6.0
August 9, 2011
=============================
This is the first release of Samba 3.6.0.
Major enhancements in Samba 3.6.0 include:
Changed security defaults
------------------------Samba 3.6 has adopted a number of improved security defaults that will
impact on existing users of Samba.
client ntlmv2 auth = yes
client use spnego principal = no
send spnego principal = no
The impact of 'client ntlmv2 auth = yes' is that by default we will not
use NTLM authentication as a client. This applies to the Samba client
tools such as smbclient and winbind, but does not change the separately
released in-kernel CIFS client. To re-enable the poorer NTLM encryption
set '--option=clientusentlmv2auth=no' on your smbclient command line, or
set 'client ntlmv2 auth = no' in your smb.conf
The impact of 'client use spnego principal = no' is that Samba will
use CIFS/hostname to obtain a kerberos ticket, acting more like
Windows when using Kerberos against a CIFS server in smbclient,
winbind and other Samba client tools. This will change which servers
interfaces to query for printer data. Data is served out from a real
registry implementation and therefore arguably 100% forward compatible.
Migration code from the previous TDB files formats is provided. This
code is automatically invoked the first time the new code is run on the
server. Although manual migration is also available using the 'net
printer migrate' command.
These changes not only make all the spoolss code much more closer to
"the spec", it also greatly improves our internal testing of both
spoolss and winreg interfaces, and reduces overall code duplication.
As part of this work, new tests have been also added to increase
coverage.
This code will also allow, in future, an easy transition to split out
the spooling functions into a separate daemon for those OEMs that do not
need printing functionality in their appliances, reducing the code
footprint.
ID Mapping Changes
-----------------The id mapping configuration has been a source of much grief in the past.
For this release, id mapping has been rewritten yet again with the goal
of making the configuration more simple and more coherent while keeping
the needed flexibility and even adding to the flexibility in some respects.
The major change that implies the configuration simplifications is at
the heart of the id mapping system: The separation of the "idmap alloc
system" that is responsible for the unix id counters in the tdb, tdb2
and ldap idmap backends from the id mapping code itself has been removed.
The sids_to_unixids operation is now atomic and encapsulates (if needed)
the action of allocating a unix id for a mapping that is to be created.
Consequently all idmap alloc configuration parameters have vanished and
it is hence now also not possible any more to specify an idmap alloc
backend different from the idmap backend. Each idmap backend uses its
own idmap unixid creation mechanism transparently.
As a consequence of the id mapping changes, the methods that are used
for storing and deleting id mappings have been removed from the winbindd
API. The "net idmap dump/restore" commands have been rewritten to
not speak through winbindd any more but directly act on the databases.
This is currently available for the tdb and tdb2 backends, the implementation
for ldap still missing.
The allocate_id functionality is preserved for the unix id creator of the
default idmap configuration is also used as the source of unix ids
for the group mapping database and for the posix attributes in a
ldapsam:editposix setup.
As part of the changes, the default idmap configuration has been
changed to be more coherent with the per-domain configuration.
The parameters "idmap uid", "idmap gid" and "idmap range" are now
deprecated in favour of the systematic "idmap config * : range"
and "idmap config * : backend" parameters. The reason for this change
is that the old options only provided an incomplete and hence deceiving
backwards compatibility, which was a source of many problems with
upgrades. By introducing this change in configuration, it should be
