Release Announcements
---------------------

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

o CVE-2026-1933:   Missing access checks on reparse point operations

                    On a share marked "read only = yes" and
                    on file handles opened R/O users can set
                    or delete the reparse point xattrs on files
                    that the user has write-access in the file
                    system for.

                    https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2026-1933.html


o CVE-2026-2340:   WORM vfs module does not block overwrites

                    The WORM (Write-Once, Read Many) vfs module
                    is supposed to lock write access to shared
                    files, so they cannot be altered after initial
                    writes. It was allowing files to be overwritten
                    by renaming a newly created file over a protected
                    file.

                    https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2026-2340.html


o CVE-2026-3012:   auto-enrolment GPO installing CA certificate over http
                    without verification

                    To bootstrap a certificate chain a domain member must
                    fetch a certificate without TLS. It was trusting HTTP
                    for this when a more secure encrypted LDAP channel
                    was also available.

                    https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2026-3012.html


o CVE-2026-3238:   Denial of service against AD DC WINS server

                    The WINS server component of the Active
                    Directory Domain controller code in Samba
                    is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference
                    and crash caused by a unauthenticated UDP
                    packet.

                    https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2026-3238.html


o CVE-2026-4408:   Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in Samba 
DCE/RPC SAMR
                    server

                    Samba file servers and classic (non-AD) domain 
controllers
                    with samba-dcerpcd started as a system service and 
with a
                    "check password script" that has the %u substitution
                    character are vulnerable to a remote code execution.

                    https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2026-4408.html


o CVE-2026-4480:   Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in Samba printing
                    subsystem

                    Samba print servers with a "print command"
                    that has the %J substitution character
                    are vulnerable to a Remote Code Execution.
