                   Release Notes for Samba 4.12.9
                          October 29, 2020
                   ==============================


This is a security release in order to address the following defects:

o CVE-2020-14318: Missing handle permissions check in SMB1/2/3 ChangeNotify.
o CVE-2020-14323: Unprivileged user can crash winbind.
o CVE-2020-14383: An authenticated user can crash the DCE/RPC DNS with easily
		  crafted records.

o  CVE-2020-14318:
   The SMB1/2/3 protocols have a concept of "ChangeNotify", where a client can
   request file name notification on a directory handle when a condition such as
   "new file creation" or "file size change" or "file timestamp update" occurs.

   A missing permissions check on a directory handle requesting ChangeNotify
   meant that a client with a directory handle open only for
   FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES (minimal access rights) could be used to obtain change
   notify replies from the server. These replies contain information that should
   not be available to directory handles open for FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTE only.

o  CVE-2020-14323:
   winbind in version 3.6 and later implements a request to translate multiple
   Windows SIDs into names in one request. This was done for performance
   reasons: Active Directory domain controllers can do multiple SID to name
   translations in one RPC call. It was an obvious extension to also offer this
   batch operation on the winbind unix domain stream socket that is available to
   local processes on the Samba server to reduce network round-trips to the
   domain controller.

   Due to improper input validation a hand-crafted packet can make winbind
   perform a NULL pointer dereference and thus crash.

o  CVE-2020-14383:
   Some DNS records (such as MX and NS records) usually contain data in the
   additional section. Samba's dnsserver RPC pipe (which is an administrative
   interface not used in the DNS server itself) made an error in handling the
   case where there are no records present: instead of noticing the lack of
   records, it dereferenced uninitialised memory, causing the RPC server to
   crash. This RPC server, which also serves protocols other than dnsserver,
   will be restarted after a short delay, but it is easy for an authenticated
   non-admin attacker to crash it again as soon as it returns. The Samba DNS
   server itself will continue to operate, but many RPC services will not.

For more details, please refer to the security advisories.
