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

Samba 4.0.2, 3.6.12 and 3.5.21 have been issued as security releases in order
to address CVE-2013-0213 (Clickjacking issue in SWAT) and
CVE-2013-0214 (Potential XSRF in SWAT).

o  CVE-2013-0213:
   All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to clickjacking in the
   Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). When the SWAT pages are integrated into
   a malicious web page via a frame or iframe and then overlaid by other content,
   an attacker could trick an administrator to potentially change Samba settings.

   In order to be vulnerable, SWAT must have been installed and enabled
   either as a standalone server launched from inetd or xinetd, or as a
   CGI plugin to Apache. If SWAT has not been installed or enabled (which
   is the default install state for Samba) this advisory can be ignored.

o  CVE-2013-0214:
   All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a cross-site
   request forgery in the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). By guessing a
   user's password and then tricking a user who is authenticated with SWAT into
   clicking a manipulated URL on a different web page, it is possible to manipulate
   SWAT.

   In order to be vulnerable, the attacker needs to know the victim's password.
   Additionally SWAT must have been installed and enabled either as a standalone
   server launched from inetd or xinetd, or as a CGI plugin to Apache. If SWAT has
   not been installed or enabled (which is the default install state for Samba)
   this advisory can be ignored.
