[Announce] Samba 4.1.16 and 4.0.24 Security Releases Available

[Karolin Seeger]

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

Samba 4.1.16 and 4.0.24 have been issued as security releases in order
to address CVE-2014-8143 (Elevation of privilege to Active Directory Domain
Controller). For the sake of completeness, Samba 4.2.0rc4 including a fix for
this defect will follow soon, but it won't be a dedicated security release
and will therefore address other bug fixes also.

For more details, please see
  http://www.samba.org/samba/history/security.html


o  CVE-2014-8143:
   Samba's AD DC allows the administrator to delegate
   creation of user or computer accounts to specific users or groups.

   However, all released versions of Samba's AD DC did not implement the
   additional required check on the UF_SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT bit in the
   userAccountControl attributes.


Changes:
========

o   Andrew Bartlett <abartlet at samba.org>
    * BUG 10993: CVE-2014-8143: dsdb-samldb: Check for extended access
      rights before we allow changes to userAccountControl.
