Mandriva Linux Advisory MDKA-2006:021
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : samba
Date : March 7, 2006
Affected: Corporate 3.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Samba provides SMB/CIFS services (such as file and printer sharing)
used by clients compatible with Microsoft Windows(TM).

This update introduces a new version of Samba for CS3.0 users. Main
changes include:

- fix for password change when using the LDAP backend problem
introduced in the last update (3.0.10);
- update to version 3.0.14a
- update of the vscan layer to version 0.3.6
- update of smbldap-tools to version 0.8.7
- removal of sql authentication modules

Details
=======

a) Outdated samba.schema file in the openldap-servers package

The samba.schema file from the previous openldap-servers package did
not include support for the password history feature samba uses. When
using the LDAP backend, this would cause password changes to fail. To
fix this, a new openldap-servers package is being provided with the
correct samba.schema file.

b) Default ACLs in openldap-servers

The /etc/openldap/slapd.access.conf file from the openldap-servers
package has been updated to deal with the new samba password history
attribute. The post-installation procedure of the package will
automatically make the necessary adjustments to that file.

c) Samba 3.0.14a highlights include:

- new privilege model which allows assignment of certain privileges to
users and groups so that the administrator account is no longer
needed for certain operations. Please see the Samba-HOWTO-Collection
for details.
- large directory support: samba now can handle large directories with
many thousand of files much better. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection
for details.
- fixes for compatibility issues between winbind and w2k3-sp1 domain
controllers

For more detailed changes, please refer to the WHATSNEW.txt file in the
samba-doc package.

d) smbldap-tools details

A missing dependency on perl-IO-Socket-SSL has been added which affects
sites using SSL/TLS between smbldap-tools and the LDAP server.
Additionally, a new dependency had to be added: perl-Crypt-SmbHash,
which is being supplied with this update.

Finally, smbldap-tools has been moved into its own package. The upgrade
should pull in this new package automatically.

e) mount-cifs

The mount.cifs utility has been moved to a package of its own called
"mount-cifs". Upgrades should automatically pull in this new package if
it was being used before.

f) SQL modules are deprecated

The sql authentication modules (pgsql and mysql) have been removed due
to lack of maintenance and several serious issues. Please see
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3375 for an overview of the
problems and the reasons for why its support has been dropped for the
time being.

Upgrade issues
==============

a) smbldap-tools

smbldap-tools has been updated to version 0.8.7, which is the version
that comes with samba-3.0.14a. This new version has a different
configuration layout: now all configuration files are stored under the
/etc/smbldap-tools directory.

The upgrade process will try to convert any existing configuration
to this new format, but at least the following parameters will have to
be reviewed in the /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf file:

- ldapTLS may be set to 1 regardless of how ldapSSL was set in the
previous configuration;
- sambaUnixIdPooldn may still be using the default "example" domain
in it

After reviewing the /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf configuration file
for any remaining issues, the "smbldap-populate" script has to be
rerun in order to add new attributes to the directory server. This will
complete the smbldap-tools migration process.

If the smbldap-tools configuration file is not converted automatically,
please run the script /usr/share/samba/scripts/migrate-smbldap manually
and then proceed to the review of the /etc/smbldap-tools-foo
configuration file.

Known issues
============
Some smbldap-tools configuration directives can not be left empty, even
though the configuration file says so. These are:

- _userSmbHome
- _userHomeDrive
- _userProfile

This may be fixed in a future update.
