                    =============================
+                   Release Notes for Samba 4.1.9
+                           June 23, 2014
+                   =============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address
+CVE-2014-0244 (Denial of service - CPU loop) and
+CVE-2014-3493 (Denial of service - Server crash/memory corruption).
+
+o  CVE-2014-0244:
+   All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a denial of
+   service on the nmbd NetBIOS name services daemon. A malformed packet
+   can cause the nmbd server to loop the CPU and prevent any further
+   NetBIOS name service.
+
+   This flaw is not exploitable beyond causing the code to loop expending
+   CPU resources.
+
+o  CVE-2014-3493:
+   All current released versions of Samba are affected by a denial of service
+   crash involving overwriting memory on an authenticated connection to the
+   smbd file server.
+
+
+Changes since 4.1.8:
+--------------------
+
+o   Jeremy Allison <jra at samba.org>
+    * BUG 10633: CVE-2014-0244: Fix nmbd denial of service.
+    * BUG 10654: CVE-2014-3493: Fix segmentation fault in
+      smbd_marshall_dir_entry()'s SMB_FIND_FILE_UNIX handler.
