+ ==============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.21.6
+ June 03, 2025
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is the latest stable release of the Samba 4.21 release series.
+It contains the security-relevant bugfix CVE-2025-0620:
+
+ smbd doesn't pick up group membership changes
+ when re-authenticating an expired SMB session:
+ https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2025-0620.html
+
+
+Description of CVE-2025-0620
+-----------------------------
+
+ With Kerberos authentication SMB sessions typically have an
+ associated lifetime, requiring re-authentication by the
+ client when the session expires. As part of the
+ re-authentication, Samba receives the current group
+ membership information and is expected to reflect this
+ change in further SMB request processing.
+
+ For historic reasons, Samba maintains a cache of
+ associations between a user's impersonation information and
+ connected shares. A recent change in this cache caused Samba
+ to not reflect group membership changes from session
+ re-authentication when processing further SMB requests.
+
+ As a result, when an administrator removes a user from a
+ particular group in Active Directory, this change will not
+ become effective unless the user disconnects from the server
+ and establishes a new connection.
+
+
