134 Release Notes for Samba 3.5.1
135 March 8, 2010
136 =============================
137
138
139This is a security release in order to address CVE-2010-0728.
140
141
142o CVE-2010-0728:
143 In Samba releases 3.5.0, 3.4.6 and 3.3.11, new code
144 was added to fix a problem with Linux asynchronous IO handling.
145 This code introduced a bad security flaw on Linux platforms if the
146 binaries were built on Linux platforms with libcap support.
147 The flaw caused all smbd processes to inherit CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
148 capabilities, allowing all file system access to be allowed
149 even when permissions should have denied access.

184 Release Notes for Samba 3.5.0
185 March 1, 2010
186 ===============================
187
188
189This is the first stable release of Samba 3.5.
190
191
192Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.0 include:
193
194General changes:
195o Add support for full Windows timestamp resolution
196o The Using Samba HTML book has been removed.
197o 'net', 'smbclient' and libsmbclient can use credentials cached by Winbind.
198o The default value of "wide links" has been changed to "no".
199
200Protocol changes:
201o Experimental implementation of SMB2
202
203Printing Changes:
204o Add encryption support for connections to a CUPS server
205
206Winbind changes:
207o Major refactoring
208o Asynchronous
209
210VFS modules:
211o New vfs_scannedonly module has been added.
212
213
214General changes:
215================
216
217Support for full Windows timestamp resolution has been added. This effectively
218makes us use Windows' full 100ns timestamp resolution if supported by the
219kernel (2.6.22 and higher) and the glibc (2.6 and higher).
220
221The Using Samba HTML book has been removed from the Samba tarball.
222It is still available at http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/toc.html.
223
224Samba client tools like 'net', 'smbclient' and libsmbclient can use the user
225credentials cached by Winbind at logon time. This is very useful e.g. when
226connecting to a Samba server using Nautilus without re-entering username and
227password. This feature is enabled by default and can be disabled per application
228by setting the LIBSMBCLIENT_NO_CCACHE environment variable.
229
230The default value of "wide links" has been changed to "no" to avoid an insecure
231default configuration ("wide links = yes" and "unix extensions = yes"). For
232more details, please see http://www.samba.org/samba/news/symlink_attack.html.
233
234
235Protocol changes
236================
237
238An EXPERIMENTAL implementation of the SMB2 protocol has been added. SMB2 can be
239enabled by setting "max protocol = smb2". SMB2 is a new implementation of the
240SMB protocol used by Windows Vista and higher.
241
242Printing Changes
243================
244
245A new parameter "cups encrypt" has been added to control whether connections to
246CUPS servers will be encrypted or not. The default is to use unencrypted
247connections.
248
249Winbind changes
250===============
251
252The Winbind daemon has been refactored internally to be asynchronous. The new
253Winbind will not be blocked by running 'getent group' or 'getent passwd'.
254
255VFS modules
256===========
257
258A new VFS module "scannedonly" has been added. This is a filter that
259talks to an antivirus-engine and stores whether a file is clean or not.
260Users do only see clean files on their filesystem.
