+ ==============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.21.7
+ July 07, 2025
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is the latest stable release of the Samba 4.21 release series.
+
+
+Important Change in Upcoming Microsoft Update
+---------------------------------------------
+
+On 8th of July, Microsoft will release an important security update for
+Active Directory Domain Controllers for Windows Server versions prior to
+2025.
+
+This update includes a change to the Microsoft RPC Netlogon protocol,
+which improves security by tightening access checks for a set of RPC
+requests. Samba running as domain members in these environments will be
+impacted by this change if a specific configuration is used, see below
+for which configuration is affected.
+
+Windows Server version 2025 is already equipped with these specific
+security hardenings, and Microsoft is now planning to deploy them to all
+supported Windows Server versions down to Windows Server 2008.
+
+
+Who is affected?
+
+Samba installations acting as member servers in Windows AD domains will
+be affected if they are configured to use the 'ad' idmapping backend.
+Samba servers not using this configuration will not be affected by the
+change – at least to our current knowledge and understanding of the
+change – and no further action is required.
+
+Current versions of Samba with the affected configuration will no longer
+function correctly once the Microsoft update has been applied. Users
+will not be able to connect to the SMB service provided by Samba for any
+domain configured to use the 'ad' idmapping backend.
+
+See https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15876.
