Public bug reported: Description of the problem: Samba crashes if libtalloc2 is not installed when a share is accessed by a non-Linux system.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Install KUbuntu 14.04. 2. Get a root terminal up and type apt-get update apt-get install samba 3. Add the following to end of /etc/samba/smb.conf : [tmp] path = /tmp browseable = yes read only = no guest ok = yes 4. Run service smbd reload 5. Connect to the share using something other than Linux (e.g. Windows 7 Explorer, Windows 2012 Explorer, OS X 10.9.5 Finder). Expected result: Contents of /tmp to be displayed. Actual result: The client hangs because the samba server has core dumped. How reproducible is the issue: It is reproducible every time. Additional information: Connecting to the share using Linux (e.g. using smbclient or Nautilus on another system) always works without issue. Looking in /var/log/samba/cores shows are core with the following backtrace: #0 0x00007ff3d014ccc9 in raise () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ff3d01500d8 in abort () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #2 0x00007ff3d187d64b in dump_core () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsmbconf.so.0 #3 0x00007ff3d2bed287 in smb_panic_s3 () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/libsmbregistry.so.0 #4 0x00007ff3d39648df in smb_panic () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsamba-util.so.0 #5 0x00007ff3d06ebb5f in _talloc_zero () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtalloc.so.2 #6 0x00007ff3d06f27b3 in talloc_set_memlimit () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtalloc.so.2 #7 0x0000000000000000 in ??
