                    =============================
+                   Release Notes for Samba 4.1.6
+                           March 11, 2014
+                   =============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address
+CVE-2013-4496 (Password lockout not enforced for SAMR password changes) and
+CVE-2013-6442 (smbcacls can remove a file or directory ACL by mistake).
+
+o  CVE-2013-4496:
+   Samba versions 3.4.0 and above allow the administrator to implement
+   locking out Samba accounts after a number of bad password attempts.
+
+   However, all released versions of Samba did not implement this check for
+   password changes, such as are available over multiple SAMR and RAP
+   interfaces, allowing password guessing attacks.
+
+o  CVE-2013-6442:
+   Samba versions 4.0.0 and above have a flaw in the smbcacls command. If
+   smbcacls is used with the "-C|--chown name" or "-G|--chgrp name"
+   command options it will remove the existing ACL on the object being
+   modified, leaving the file or directory unprotected.
+
+
+Changes since 4.1.5:
+--------------------
+
+o   Jeremy Allison <jra at samba.org>
+    * BUG 10327: CVE-2013-6442: ensure we don't lose an existing ACL when
+      setting owner or group owner.
+
+
+o   Andrew Bartlett <abartlet at samba.org>
+    * BUG 10245: CVE-2013-4496: Enforce password lockout for SAMR password
+      changes.
+
+
+o   Stefan Metzmacher <metze at samba.org>
+    * BUG 10245: CVE-2013-4496: Enforce password lockout for SAMR password
+      changes.
