This is a security release in order to address CVE-2009-2813, CVE-2009-2948
and CVE-2009-2906.
Please note that Samba 3.0 is not maintained any longer. This security
release is shipped on a voluntary basis.
o CVE-2009-2813:
In all versions of Samba later than 3.0.11, connecting to the home
share of a user will use the root of the filesystem
as the home directory if this user is misconfigured to have
an empty home directory in /etc/passwd.
o CVE-2009-2948:
If mount.cifs is installed as a setuid program, a user can pass it a
credential or password path to which he or she does not have access and
then use the --verbose option to view the first line of that file.
o CVE-2009-2906:
Specially crafted SMB requests on authenticated SMB connections can
send smbd into a 100% CPU loop, causing a DoS on the Samba server.
- CVE-2009-1888:
In Samba 3.0.31 to 3.3.5 (inclusive), an uninitialized read of a
data value can potentially affect access control when "dos filemode"
is set to "yes".
This security fix has already been integrated into "pkggsrc" via a patch
previously. The package was only updated to make future maintenance easier.
CVE-2009-1888:
In Samba 3.0.31 to 3.3.5 (inclusive), an uninitialized read of a
data value can potentially affect access control when "dos filemode"

CHANGES FOR PKGSRC:
==================
Makefile:
+ Modify section that manually handles the ELF symlinks for samba
shared libraries -- add additional libraries that are built (addns,
smbsharemodes) and reorganize so we don't need two loops where one
will do.
+ Pass --with-included-popt to the configure script to force using
the popt distribution included with samba to avoid any library
mismatch errors between samba and any installed popt. This fixes
PR pkg/34444 by Jason Lingohr.
+ Don't build the smbmount programs on Linux -- they're deprecated in
favor of the mount.cifs programs.
+ Remove some pkgviews-related settings -- I'm not supporting pkgviews
installation of samba.
Makefile.patches:
+ Empty out PATCHFILES because we are updating to the latest release
of samba, which has all previous patches for security advisories
already rolled into the main sources.
Makefile.mirrors:
+ Update SAMBA_MIRRORS in Makefile.mirrors to the latest list of FTP
mirrors.
options.mk:
+ Only show the ``acl'' option on platforms that actually support
POSIX ACLs.
+ Add a new ``fam'' option to enable building the notify_fam VFS
module.
patch-ab, patch-ax:
+ Remove patch-ab and update patch-ax -- there's nothing for the
scripts to back up so we don't need to patch the install* scripts
to avoid this.
patch-ae, patch-ah:
+ Update patch-ae and remove patch-ah -- we should definitely check
that PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR is defined before using its value to
define PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVER_ERR.
patch-at, patch-au:
+ Fix patch-at and patch-au -- in configure.in, we need to "escape"
left and right brackets or else m4 will strip them away in the
resulting configure script. This should fix the detection of FreeBSD
and NetBSD systems capable of using nss_winbind noted in PR pkg/38076
by Ingo Meyer.
patch-ay:
+ Remove some unnecessary changes -- we can safely just do "mkdir" in
some places because we know the parent and any intermediate directories
exist.
patch-be:
+ Fix a bug in locating WINS_LIST -- nmbd/nmbd_winsserver.c was
referring to WINS_LIST under the state directory in one place and
under the lock directory in another; change all references to be
under the state directory.
patch-db:
+ Add patch to fix the build of samba on older BSDs. Patch supplied
in PR pkg/37487 by John Frear.
All remaining changes to patches/patch-* are simply to remove fuzz.
MAJOR CHANGES FROM VERSION 3.0.26a:
* Fix failure to join Windows 2008 domains.

* Fix for CVS-2007-5398 (already fixed in 3.0.26anb4 in pkgsrc).
* Fix for CVS-2007-4572 (already fixed in 3.0.26anb4 in pkgsrc). Also
subsequent fix for regression experienced by smbfs clients caused by
the fix for CVS-2007-4572, noted in PR pkg/38300 by Dave Barnes.

policy is set to not expire passwords.
- Authorization failures when using smb.conf options such
as "valid users" with the smbpasswd passdb backend.
- Ambiguity with unqualified names in smb.conf parameters
such as "force user" and "valid users".
- Errors in 'net ads join' caused by bad IP address in the list
of domain controllers.

- Bad token creation of local users on member servers not
running winbindd.
- Failure to add users or groups to ACLs using the Windows
object picker.

- Improved support for local and BUILTIN groups.
- Winbind IDMAP integration with RFC2307 schema objects supported
by Windows 2003 R2.
- Rewritten 'net ads join' to mimic Windows XP without requiring
administrative rights to join a domain.
files-check: No backup copies of the Samba binaries are made.
Before using ln -s, the destination file is removed. This is necessary
for installing the package over an already-installed version.
* Fix CAN-2006-1059 -- samba<3.0.22 exposes the clear text of the
server's machine account credentials in the winbind log files when
the log level is set to 5 or higher.
* Append "-pkgsrc" to the Samba version string so as to distinguish
the official version from the pkgsrc version, which has the
modifications for "state directory" and "passwd expand gecos".
* Modify package so that we automatically determine the name of the
nsswitch modules that are installed by samba with the winbind
option. We extract this information by invoking the config.status
script to get the value that the configure script determined.
o Access checks when deleting printer driver meta-data.
o Several non-default combinations schannel and SPNEGO support.

for samba-3.0.20b that are applied as part of this update include:
http://www.samba.org/samba/patches/print_lprm.patchhttp://www.samba.org/samba/patches/quota.patchhttp://www.samba.org/samba/patches/bug3201_wbinfo.patch
This fixes PRs pkg/31352 and pkg/31991. Important changes that were
made as part of porting this Samba release to pkgsrc include the
following:
* The new release model for Samba includes distributing patches for
urgent bug fixes that will be included in the next release of Samba,
and are available at http://www.samba.org/samba/patches/. Since
these patches are rather generically named, we download all DISTFILES
and PATCHFILES for Samba into a ${DISTNAME}-specific directory.
* The default configuration for the samba package no longer builds the
"winbind" portions of samba, which are really only useful when
attempting to unify logons between Unix and Microsoft Windows. When
the "winbind" option is specified, we also build the RID and AD idmap
backends, which allow sharing UIDs/GIDs across Unix machines.
* New package options have been added to the build: "mysql", "pgsql",
and "xml" allow adding optional support for experimental passdb
storage backends, and "winbind" allows for optionally building the
winbindd daemon and associated plugins.
* Two new smb.conf options were added -- "passwd expand gecos" and
"state directory". The first describes whether "&" in the GECOS
field of a passwd db entry is expanded to the login name. The
second describes the location where the persistent-state database
files are stored.
* Luke Mewburn contributed code to allow nss_winbind.so to work properly
on supported NetBSD systems. The FreeBSD NSS winbind code should
probably be replaced with a suitably tweaked version of the NetBSD
code since the latter is much more complete in the functions that are
provided, but I'll leave that to freebsd-pkg-people.
* Samba dumps all of its files into "lock directory", but some of them
need to persist across reboots. We make a distinction between these
files and the temporary files that are re-created by the Samba
daemons when they are restarted -- the former are now stored in a
"state directory" and the latter are stored in the "lock directory".
This is modeled after the Debian patch to Samba located in:
packaging/Debian/debian-unstable/patches/fhs.patch
The "lock directory" default has been moved to ${VARBASE}/run/samba
to emphasize the temporary status of the files stored in that
directory.
* Samba persists in using PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVER_ERR, when there is almost
universal agreement that PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR is the right
constant to use. Even the Linux-PAM distribution ensures that
PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR is correctly defined. To work around this,
we define PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVER_ERR appropriately in all the places
where it is used.
* The configure script checks for OpenSSL's libcrypto.so by looking
for the symbol "des_set_key". However, libcrypto.so might not
contain that symbol because the DES functions might come from a
separate library, e.g. libdes.so. In this case, the configure script
will think that libcrypto.so is not available, when it actually may
be. Instead, look for EVP_des_cbc, which is always provided by
libcrypto.so.
* Add some missing $(PASSDB_LIBS) references to the Makefile to fix
compilation problems if the experimental passdb backends are statically
compiled into the Samba suite programs.
* Fix compilation problems in sam/idmap_rid.c and sam/idmap_ad.c if the
"rid" and "ad" idmap backends are statically compiled into winbindd.
Changes between version 3.0.14a and 3.0.20b include:
o Reporting files as read-only instead of returning the correct error
code of "access denied"
o File system quota support defects
o Crash bugs caused by incompatibilities on 64-bit systems.
o User Manager interoperability problems.
o Support for several new Win32 rpc pipes.
o New 'net rpc service' tool for managing Win32 services.
o Capability to set the owner on new files and directory based on the
parent's ownership.
o Experimental, asynchronous IO file serving support.
o Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
o New Winbind IDmap plugin (ad) for retrieving uid and gid from AD
servers which maintain the SFU user and group attributes.
o Rewritten support for POSIX pathnames when utilizing the Linux CIFS
fs client.
o New asynchronous winbindd.
o New Windows NT registry file I/O library.
o New user right (SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege) added.
o New "net share migrate" options.
decide if it's actually libcrypto.so from the OpenSSL distribution.
Samba looks to see if libkrb5.so needs it to link when samba is
configured to build ADS support. However, newer versions of heimdal
don't need the old DES API, and newer versions of OpenSSL don't even
provide the old des_* symbol names in the library, so "des_set_key"
is a poor choice to use to detect libcrypto.so. The only place in
the samba sources where the old DES API is even used is in the AFS
fake kaserver support, which pkgsrc does not (ever) intend to support.
This fixes PR pkg/24456.
Changes from 3.0.10 are huge, please see
http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.14a.html in detail.
pkgsrc changes:
* replace ln command to ${LN}.
* avoid use file for shell's variable.
* remove trailing spaces.
- Added checks surrounding all *alloc() calls to fix CAN-2004-1154.
- Fix long standing memory size bug in bitmap_allocate().
- Remove bogus error check in deferred open file serving
code.
- Fix autoconf script on platforms using a version of GNU ld
that does not include a date stamp in the output of --version.
- Fix the swat install script to deal with the new image
destination directory used by the docs.
o Fixes for two Denial of Service vulnerabalities
(CVE ID# CAN-2004-0807 & CAN-2004-0808).
o Winbind failure to return user entries under certain conditions.
o Syntax errors in the OpenLDAP schema file (samba.schema).
o Printing errors caused by not setting default values for the various
printing commands.
* Disable 'winbind enable local accounts' by default.
o Schannel failure in winbindd.
o Incompatibilities between the 'write list' and 'force user' smb.conf
options.
o Premature optimization of the open_directory() internal function that
broke tools such as the ArcServe backup agent, Macromedia HomeSite,
and Robocopy.
o Sharing violation errors commonly seen when opening when serving
Microsoft Office documents from a Samba file share.
o Browsing problems caused by an apostrophe (') in the computer's
description field.

o Remove various memory leaks.
o Fix issues in the password lockout feature.
o Using a cups server other than localhost.
o Maintaining the service principal entry in the system keytab for
integration with other kerberized services. Please refer to the
'use kerberos keytab' entry in smb.conf(5). When using the heimdal
kerberos libraries, you must also specify the following in /etc/krb5.conf:
[libdefaults]
default_keytab_name = FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
o Support for maintaining individual printer names stored separately
from the printer's sharename.
o Support for maintaining user password history.
o Support for honoring the logon times for user in a Samba domain.
* Reintroduce 'force unknown acl user' parameter. When getting a security
descriptor for a file, if the owner sid is not known, the owner uid is
set to the current uid. Same for group sid.
Common bugs fixed in Samba 3.0.3 include:
o Crash bugs and change notify issues in Samba's printing code.
o Honoring secondary group membership on domain member servers.
o TDB scalability issue surrounding the TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST flag.
o Substitution errors for %[UuGg] in smb.conf.
o winbindd crashes when using ADS security mode.
o SMB signing errors.
o Delays in winbindd startup caused by unnecessary
connections to trusted domain controllers.
o Various small memory leaks.
o Winbindd failing due to expired Kerberos tickets.
New features introduced in Samba 3.0.3 include:
o Improved support for i18n character sets.
o Support for account lockout policy based on
bad password attempts.
o Improved support for long password changes (>14
characters) and strong password enforcement.
o Support for Windows aliases (i.e. nested groups).

o Problems with the %U and %u smb.conf variables in relation to
Windows 9x/ME clients.
o Kerberos failures due to an invalid in memory keytab detection
test.
o Updates to the ntlm_auth tool.
o Fixes for various SMB signing errors.
o Better separation of WINS and DNS queries for domain controllers.
o Issues with nss_winbind FreeBSD and Solaris.
o Several crash bugs in smbd and winbindd.

* findsmb is a perl script, and we need to substitute the correct path to
the perl interpreter.
* Don't create ${PREFIX}/private during a "make install" as it's a
completely useless directory.
* Don't bother to install the completely outdated Samba HTML documentation
that is superseded by the Samba HOWTO Collection documentation.
****************************************
* IMPORTANT: Security bugfix for Samba *
****************************************
The SuSE security audit team, in particular Sebastian Krahmer
<krahmer@suse.de>, has found a flaw in the Samba main smbd code which
could allow an external attacker to remotely and anonymously gain
Super User (root) privileges on a server running a Samba server.
This flaw exists in previous versions of Samba from 2.0.x to 2.2.7a
inclusive. This is a serious problem and all sites should either
upgrade to Samba 2.2.8 immediately or prohibit access to TCP ports 139
and 445. Advice created by Andrew Tridgell, the leader of the Samba
Team, on how to protect an unpatched Samba server is given at the end
of this section.
The SMB/CIFS protocol implemented by Samba is vulnerable to many
attacks, even without specific security holes. The TCP ports 139 and
the new port 445 (used by Win2k and the Samba 3.0 alpha code in
particular) should never be exposed to untrusted networks.
O_RDWR fails in fcbopen case, remember the errno from previous open_file()
call and set errno back to this value if the second open_file() call
fails too
this makes samba report EACCESS instead of confusing ENOENT if creation
of file fails due to insufficient permissions for SMBcreate/SMBmknew call
bump package revision
1) Fix for smbclient reporting negative file sizes on dir command
and negative statistics being reported when using put or get
on large files.
2) Fix bug in determination of allocation size
3) Fix 64bit size problems which prevented copying of files larger
than 2 GBytes.
4) Fix for xcopy /s problem with old DOS clients not sending correct
attributes on subsequent SMBsearch calls.
5) Fix bug in call to standard_sub_advanced giving a 0 length. This
fixes the string overflow in string_sub errors.
6) Correctly handle querygroup rpcclient command
7) fix broken incremental tar in smbtar command
* Fixes for MS-RPC printing issues affecting Windows 2000 clients
* New support for smb.conf generation in SWAT
* Inclusion of several performance enhancements
* Fixes for several file locking bugs and returned status codes
and merge their patch collections. These two packages are built from the
same source tree, and updates to the main distfile should be shared by
both packages.
version 2.2.4nb1 is that there are the usual minor bug fixes, plus some
important ones:
* fix printing with Win2K/XP clients
* fixes related to using LDAP for the SAM
* fixes related to changing passwords
Pkgsrc changes:
* Fetch the .tar.bz2 file -- it's smaller.
* Use smb.conf.default as the sample config file and get rid of
the homegrown files/smb.conf.sample. smb.conf.default is more
informative and is a better resource.
* Remove irrelevant examples.
* Move convert_smbpasswd script to the examples/samba/misc
directory. It's pretty much outlived it's usefulness at this
point of the Samba release cycle.

Known Bugs
----------
* Under certain conditions when serving the MS Access 2000
executable file and an Access database from a Samba share,
it is possible to experience data corruption. This pug does
does occur when the database is served from a Samba file share
but the Access *.exe is stored on the client's local file system.
The exact reason for this bug is unknown at this time.
(2) Add "piddir" as /var/run and "pidfile dir" and "pidfile directory"
statement for smb.conf.
(3) Some fix for password synchronization but it isn't tested much and
it is almost useless under "encrypt passwords = yes" environment.
Changes for INSTALL and part of Makefile are provided by
"Johnny C. Lam" <jlam@netbsd.org> and (2) and (3) are got
from FreeBSD ports.
Bump revision to 1; samba-2.2.3nb1 now.

WHATS NEW IN Samba 2.2.1a: 11th July 2001
==========================================
This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version that all
production Samba servers should be running for all current bug-fixes.
This is a minor bugfix release for 2.2.1, *NOT* security related.
1). 2.2.1 had a bug where using smbpasswd -m to add a Windows NT or
Windows2000 machine into a Samba hosted PDC would fail due to our
stricter user name checking. We were disallowing user names
containing '$', which is needed when using smbpasswd to add a
machine into a domain. Automatically adding machines (using the
native Windows tools) into a Samba domain worked correctly.
2.2.1a fixes this single problem.
New/Changed parameters in 2.2.1
-------------------------------
Added parameters.
-----------------
obey pam restrictions
When Samba is configured to use PAM, turns on or off Samba checking
the PAM account restrictions. Defaults to off.
pam password change
When Samba is configured to use PAM, turns on or off Samba passing
the password changes to PAM. Defaults to off.
large readwrite
New option to allow new Windows 2000 large file (64k) streaming
read/write options. Needs a 64 bit underlying operating system
(for Linux use kernel 2.4 with glibc 2.2 or above). Can improve performance
by 10% with Windows 2000 clients. Defaults to off. Not as tested
as some other Samba code paths.
hide unreadable
Prevents clients from seeing the existance of files that cannot
be read. Off by default.
enhanced browsing
Turn on/off the enhanced Samba browing functionality (*1B names).
Default is "on". Can prevent eternal machines in workgroups when
WINS servers are not synchronised.
Removed parameters.
-------------------
domain groups
domain admin users
domain guest users
Changes in 2.2.1
-----------------
1). "find" command removed for smbclient. Internal code now used.
2). smbspool updates to retry connections from Michael Sweet.
3). Fix for mapping 8859-15 characters to UNICODE.
4). Changed "security=server" to try with invalid username to prevent
account lockouts.
5). Fixes to allow Windows 2000 SP2 clients to join a Samba PDC.
6). Support for Windows 9x Nexus tools to allow security changes from Win9x.
7). Two locking fixes added. Samba 2.2.1 now passes the Clarion network
lock tester tool for distributed databases.
8). Preliminary support added for Windows 2000 large file read/write SMBs.
9). Changed random number generator in Samba to prevent guess attacks.
10). Fixes for tdb corruption in connections.tdb and file locking brlock.tdb.
smbd's clean the tdb files on startup and shutdown.
11). Fixes for default ACLs on Solaris.
12). Tidyup of password entry caching code.
13). Correct shutdowns added for send fails. Helps tdb cleanup code.
14). Prevent invalid '/' characters in workgroup names.
15). Removed more static arrays in SAMR code.
16). Client code is now UNICODE on the wire.
17). Fix 2 second timstamp resolution everywhere if dos timestamp set to yes.
18). All tdb opens now going through logging function.
19). Add pam password changing and pam restrictions code.
20). Printer driver management improvements (delete driver).
21). Fix difference between NULL security descriptors and empty
security descriptors.
22). Fix SID returns for server roles.
23). Allow Windows 2000 mmc to view and set Samba share security descriptors.
24). Allow smbcontrol to forcibly disconnect a share.
25). tdb fixes for HPUX, OpenBSD and other OS's that don't have a coherent
mmap/file read/write cache.
26). Fix race condition in returning create disposition for file create/open.
27). Fix NT rewriting of security descriptors to their canonical form for
ACLs.
28). Fix for Samba running on top of Linux VFAT ftruncate bug.
29). Swat fixes for being run with xinetd that doesn't set the umask.
30). Fix for slow writes with Win9x Explorer clients. Emulates Microsoft
TCP stack early ack specification error.
31). Changed lock & persistant tdb directory to /var/cache/samba by default on
RedHat and Mandrake as they clear the /var/lock/samba directory on reboot.
entry to prevent finding libncurses and unnecessary patches to configure
script to handle SSL location and probing libcups. Also use FILES_SUBST
instead of repeating a sed script throughout the Makefile.
