samba - Dec 2006 - Incorrect pointers arithmetic in the PRINTER_ENUM_VALUES structure when calling Samba.

I try to use Win32API EnumPrinterDataEx to get registry key's values and
data from Samba print server (of course I previously connect to the
print queue and retrieve keys by EnumPrinterKey).

During the function execution (EnumPrinterDataEx) I collect ethereal
trace to verify correct data is sent on wire and that Ethereal can
correctly represent that info. 

Some of the keys parsed correctly by wireshark (DsSpooler for example)
the others not (like PrinterDriverData).

However any key value name and data fail to be correctly handled by
EnumPrinterDataEx. 

 

The data received from print server is sequence of structures of type
PRINTER_ENUM_VALUES. All the fields of the structure that aren't
pointers are represented correctly, however pointers (that should
contain actual memory address outside the structure and are set by
adding offset value to the structure base address) contain only offset
value w/o based struct memory address added to it, thus pointers
indicate incorrect memory address.

 

I tested same function execution when working with remote Windows print
server and verified that pointers arithmetic is done.

Here I brought the enumerated values buffer output for Samba and Windows
print servers when EnumPrinterDataEx function is executed.

Have anyone seen similar issue and can shed some light on this
phenomena.

Buffers base memory address for Windows case is 0x003a8390 and the
offset for the ValueName is 60.

Buffers base memory address for Samba case is 0x003a9d48 and the offset
for the ValueName is 380.

I use windows XP SP2 client.

 

As one can easily see Samba buffer contains just offset value in
hexadecimal presentation while windows buffer contains actual calculated
memory reference inside the buffer space.

Bolded are the values that ValueName pointer contains, first in the
Samba call and second in the windows call.

 

Samba values buffer:

Can you please send the real trace file, not some text
dump? 

Thanks,

I sent you the data on the separate mail.

Just to explain myself a bit more:
I can see in the trace all relevant data, but once it processed by
windows EnumPrinterDataEx, the resulting buffer (I inspect its contents
in the MSDEV debugger) contains actual offset values for the pointers
variables instead of correct memory addresses.
If I do the pointers calculations by myself, the relevant data is in
place and valid in the buffer.

Thanks.

I approached Jerry directly in parallel a couple of days ago and waiting
for his answer on this. 

Will keep you updated on this issue.

Slava.
