Description David Disseldorp 2015-01-09 10:11:09 UTC
The fix for bug 10880 changed the srv_send_smb() error path such that it returns a value depending on the value of @ret:

commit 852c9ac34dbef66d0b2619554c611157c2fab771
Author: Richard Sharpe <realrichardsharpe@gmail.com>

    There are tests all over the SMB1 code to check that srv_send_smb fails, but it never returns false.

This change was merged to the v4-1 and v4-0 maintenance branches. A subsequent change fixed the srv_send_smb()->srv_encrypt_buffer() error path to ensure that @ret is initialised on error:

    smbd: Fix CID 1063259 Uninitialized scalar variable

This change was not merged to the v4-1 and v4-0 maintenance branches, but should be given that the bug 10880 change was merged.

The fix went into master prior to the 4.2 branch, so no 4.2 merge is needed.
