https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=247090 ------- Comment #9 from sfrench@us.ibm.com 2007-06-05 10:24 MST ------- Based on the log mismatch it looks like another case of a possible server bug (length mismatch). We have to be careful with these because a length mismatch could indicate security problems not just a server bug. We have seen a couple of less important examples of this with other servers (but not on NTCreateX as apparently we see here with the EMC server). The reason some other clients work is probably because they are not properly checking for potential buffer overruns. The Linux CIFS client was able to relax the length checks in a few cases. A patch went in to mainline on Oct 12 (patch d103e164bee2f21d0efe7d713cbbb0a443ba480d) that relaxed the length checks on a few cases that seemed safe (and also worked around a bug we saw in one server which caused slow unmount due to an invalid ulogoffX e.g.). Do you have this patch in this version of OpenSuSE (not sure what the cifs version is that they are running)? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdif... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
