In rare cases, Samba 3.0.25b shows directory contents at the wrong
position in the file tree when displaying a subdirectory of a DFS link.
The problem occurs whenever Windows XP asks for a DFS referral for a
subdirectory of a DFS link with a trailing backslash.
Windows does not do this very often, but we saw it several times per day
on our central DFS server.
smbd/msdfs.c, dfs_path_lookup() does the following with the requested
path:
- in line 390, the local copy 'localpath' is 'unix_convert'ed; the
trailing backslash is removed inside unix_convert
- in lines 417-20, 'dfspath' (another copy of the requested path) is
mangled another way without removing trailing backslashes
That's why the following loop (lines 435-461) that is meant to
synchronously cut off the last path component from both strings until it
comes to a DFS link, does not handle both strings the same. When the
original path ended with a backslash, 'canon_dfspath' has always one
component more than 'localpath', so that *consumedcntp gets too big in
line 446. This value is reported to the client.
