Description Julian Bridle 2005-04-14 09:58:38 UTC
smbsh gives the following runtime error on any access of /smb e.g. 'cd /smb' 
or 'ls /smb'

ld.so.1: ls: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/samba/lib/smbwrapper.so: 
symbol __unsafe_string_function_usage_here__: referenced symbol not found

The problem boils down to the use of the pstrcpy() macro in 
smbw.c:dirent64_convert() which detects a mismatch between PSTRING_LEN (1024) 
and the filename in struct dirent64 which is declared as char(1).

wrapped.c:readdir64() which calls the function does allocate some 500 odd bytes 
to the dirent buffer, but this is much smaller than the 1024 limit of pstring.

I suspect that the filename being converted is a Windows filename which I 
believe can only be 255 unicode chars maximum (510), so I changed the code to 
directly use the safe_strcpy() function referencing FSTRING_LEN (256) instead 
which I think is safer.

Sorry but I don't know what form you would prefer unsolicited fixes in, so 
here's a context diff of the fix that works for me.

Please ignore the patch in the body of the original bug - it's wrong.  The 
correct patch is in the second attachment.

severity should be determined by the developers and not the reporter.
Comment 5 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2006-07-05 13:13:03 UTC
smbwrapper to be removed in 3.0.24.
