Bug 315669 – net-fs/samba-3.5.2 - smbclient crashes when connecting to server with share-level security

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Maks Verver 2010-04-16 22:00:49 UTC]

Samba 3.5.2 suffers from this bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7250
Which makes it completely unusable for those of us accessing servers with share-level security. Fortunately, this patch fixes it: http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=34f0cff0664f1c160ee7442461e9f875e8d8f4dc

It's fixed on the 3.6 branch of Samba too, but that's not available in Gentoo yet.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install Samba 3.5.2 and try to connect to a server that is configured to use share-level security using any tool based on the smbclient library (e.g. the command-line smbclient tool, or one of the many GUI tools)
Actual Results:  
The tool will crash.

Expected Results:  
The tool should not crash but instead bla bla bla who ever reads this far?

Please attach unified diffs (diff -u) when you did changes to an ebuild. That would be much more handy for our devs.

net-fs/samba-3.5.2-r1 fixes the segmentation fault. Thanks for reporting.
