=============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.1.1
+ November 11, 2013
+ =============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address
+CVE-2013-4475 (ACLs are not checked on opening an alternate
+data stream on a file or directory) and
+CVE-2013-4476 (Private key in key.pem world readable).
+
+o CVE-2013-4475:
+ Samba versions 3.2.0 and above (all versions of 3.2.x, 3.3.x,
+ 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 4.0.x and 4.1.x) do not check the underlying
+ file or directory ACL when opening an alternate data stream.
+
+ According to the SMB1 and SMB2+ protocols the ACL on an underlying
+ file or directory should control what access is allowed to alternate
+ data streams that are associated with the file or directory.
+
+ By default no version of Samba supports alternate data streams
+ on files or directories.
+
+ Samba can be configured to support alternate data streams by loading
+ either one of two virtual file system modues (VFS) vfs_streams_depot or
+ vfs_streams_xattr supplied with Samba, so this bug only affects Samba
+ servers configured this way.
+
+ To determine if your server is vulnerable, check for the strings
+ "streams_depot" or "streams_xattr" inside your smb.conf configuration
+ file.
+
+o CVE-2013-4476:
+ In setups which provide ldap(s) and/or https services, the private
+ key for SSL/TLS encryption might be world readable. This typically
+ happens in active directory domain controller setups.
+
+
+Changes since 4.1.0:

+ files.
