[patch 07/94] CIFS: make sure that DFS pathnames are properlyformed

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Jan 15 2009 - 15:04:43 EST


2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Steve French <sfrench@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c6fbba0546d3ead18d4a623e76e28bcbaa66a325 upstream.

The paths in a DFS request are supposed to only have a single preceding
backslash, but we are sending them with a double backslash. This is
exposing a bug in Windows where it also sends a path in the response
that has a double backslash.

The existing code that builds the mount option string however expects a
double backslash prefix in a couple of places when it tries to use the
path returned by build_path_from_dentry. Fix compose_mount_options to
expect properly formed DFS paths (single backslash at front).

Also clean up error handling in that function. There was a possible
NULL pointer dereference and situations where a partially built option
string would be returned.

Tested against Samba 3.0.28-ish server and Samba 3.3 and Win2k8.
