The same bug is in samba 3.0.4-1.FC1.i386 under FC1 see also https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404
I tried the patch in https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345 and it resolved the problem.
Check out samba bug 1404 here https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404 as well... Please apply the appropriate patches to the Fedora/RedHat packages.
If you move to the version of Samba with the security updates, this bug will be fixed, too: http://us4.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-3.0.5.html Security Release -- Samba 3.0.5 Available for Download ============================= Release Notes for Samba 3.0.5 July 20, 2004 ============================= ######################## SECURITY RELEASE ######################## Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba 3.0.x CVE ID: CAN-2004-0600, CAN-2004-0686 (http://cve.mitre.org/) This is the latest stable release of Samba. This is the version that production Samba servers should be running for all current bug-fixes. It has been confirmed that versions of Samba 3 prior to v3.0.5 are vulnerable to two potential buffer overruns. The individual details are given below.
3.0.5 == 3.0.4 plus a pair of security fixes. This error is not fixed by 3.0.5. It is fixed in the samba-3.0.6rc1 (formerly 3.0.5rc1 before this security mess happened) sources that will be avaliable later.
It seems to be fixed in 3.0.6 released on 2004-08-19. http://us3.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.6.html I loaded up the 3.0.6 Fedora Core 2 RPMS from http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/Fedora/RPMS/i386/core/2 / and XP backup seems to be working fine.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
This has been working for me for a while now - Please close, unless other people are still seing these issues!
