This is the latest stable release of Samba 3.5.
Major enhancements in Samba 3.5.12 include:
o Fix race condition in Winbind (bug 7844).
o The VFS ACL modules are no longer experimental but production-ready.
See full release notes at http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.5.12.html
* Fix access to Samba shares when Windows security patch KB2536276 is installed
* Fix DoS in Winbind and smbd with many file descriptors open
* Fix Winbind panics if verify_idpool() fails
"checking for replacing readdir using getdirentries()".
The functions in samba-3.5.10/lib/replace/repdir_getdirentries.c
fail on NetBSD 5.99.54, and the test code in
samba-3.5.10/lib/replace/test/os2_delete.c
did not handle the failure.
Not bumping PKGREVISION, because this affects only the
configure script, and the package did not build on
NetBSD-current before.
==============================
Release Notes for Samba 3.5.10
July 26, 2011
==============================
This is a security release in order to address
CVE-2011-2522 (Cross-Site Request Forgery in SWAT) and
CVE-2011-2694 (Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in SWAT).
o CVE-2011-2522:
The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) in Samba versions
3.0.x to 3.5.9 are affected by a cross-site request forgery.
o CVE-2011-2694:
The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) in Samba versions
3.0.x to 3.5.9 are affected by a cross-site scripting
vulnerability.
Please note that SWAT must be enabled in order for these
vulnerabilities to be exploitable. By default, SWAT
is *not* enabled on a Samba install.
Changes since 3.5.9:
--------------------
o Kai Blin <kai@samba.org>
* BUG 8289: SWAT contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
* BUG 8290: CSRF vulnerability in SWAT.
* Fix Winbind crash bug when no DC is available
* Fix finding users on domain members
* Fix memory leaks in Winbind

Release Announcements
=====================
Samba 3.5.7, 3.4.12 and 3.3.15 are security releases in order to
address CVE-2011-0719.
o CVE-2011-0719:
All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to
a denial of service caused by memory corruption. Range
checks on file descriptors being used in the FD_SET macro
were not present allowing stack corruption. This can cause
the Samba code to crash or to loop attempting to select
on a bad file descriptor set.
A connection to a file share, or a local account is needed
to exploit this problem, either authenticated or unauthenticated
(guest connection).
Currently we do not believe this flaw is exploitable
beyond a crash or causing the code to loop, but on the
advice of our security reviewers we are releasing fixes
in case an exploit is discovered at a later date.
Changes
-------
o Jeremy Allison <jra at samba.org>
* BUG 7949: Fix DoS in Winbind and smbd with many file descriptors open.
These services may be hosted off any TCP/IP-enabled platform. The
Samba project includes not only an impressive feature set in file and
print serving capabilities, but has been extended to include client
functionality, utilities to ease migration to Samba, tools to aid
interoperability with Microsoft Windows, and administration tools.
