samba - Nov 2013 - Samba 3.0.28 buffer overflow

Folks,

Came across a reproduceable fault with HP's latest version of Samba which
is based on 3.0.28 code.....wouldn't surprise me if this has been fixed in
later versions.

Did a new install last week on OpenVMS 8.4 for a customer to run his CMS
on. We can write several thousand files no problem, but when it comes to
manipulating the modified date on each of the files samba will choke on
every 102nd file which makes me think a '4' has been missed off a buffer
declaration.

Was this ever a known bug?

Cheers,

HP's latest version is 3.0.28 based? 3.0 is out of public support for a
couple of years now. You should contact HP support about this, I doubt
you will find anybody digging into this here.

Alternatively, you might contact someone from
https://www.samba.org/samba/support/
for paid support.

With best regards,
