                    ==============================
+                   Release Notes for Samba 3.6.25
+                          February 23, 2015
+                   ==============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address CVE-2015-0240 (Unexpected
+code execution in smbd).
+
+o  CVE-2015-0240:
+   All versions of Samba from 3.5.0 to 4.2.0rc4 are vulnerable to an
+   unexpected code execution vulnerability in the smbd file server
+   daemon.
+
+   A malicious client could send packets that may set up the stack in
+   such a way that the freeing of memory in a subsequent anonymous
+   netlogon packet could allow execution of arbitrary code. This code
+   would execute with root privileges.
+
+o  CVE-2014-0178:
+   In preparing a response to an authenticated FSCTL_GET_SHADOW_COPY_DATA
+   or FSCTL_SRV_ENUMERATE_SNAPSHOTS client request, affected versions of
+   Samba do not initialize 8 bytes of the 16 byte SRV_SNAPSHOT_ARRAY
+   response field. The uninitialized buffer is sent back to the client.
+
+   A non-default VFS module providing the get_shadow_copy_data_fn() hook
+   must be explicitly enabled for Samba to process the aforementioned
+   client requests. Therefore, only configurations with "shadow_copy" or
+   "shadow_copy2" specified for the "vfs objects" parameter are vulnerable.
+
