+                   Release Notes for Samba 4.9.18
+                           January 21, 2020
+                   ==============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address the following defects:
+
+o CVE-2019-14902: Replication of ACLs set to inherit down a subtree on AD
+                 Directory not automatic.        
+o CVE-2019-14907: Crash after failed character conversion at log level 3 or
+                 above.                                               
+o CVE-2019-19344: Use after free during DNS zone scavenging in Samba AD DC.
+                                                                                
+                                                                                
+=======                                                                         
+Details                                                                         
+=======                                                                         
+                                                                                
+o  CVE-2019-14902:                                                                                
+   The implementation of ACL inheritance in the Samba AD DC was not complete,
+   and so absent a 'full-sync' replication, ACLs could get out of sync between
+   domain controllers. 
+
+o  CVE-2019-14907:
+   When processing untrusted string input Samba can read past the end of the
+   allocated buffer when printing a "Conversion error" message to the logs.
+
+o  CVE-2019-19344:                                                                                
+   During DNS zone scavenging (of expired dynamic entries) there is a read of
+   memory after it has been freed.
+
+For more details and workarounds, please refer to the security advisories.
