[cifs-protocol] Bug in MS-WINSRA section "2.2.10.1 Name Record"

[Edgar Olougouna]

Stefan,

Could you send me which build of Windows 2008 you ran the tests corresponding to the network traces you provided?
To determine the version, service pack and build number:
Start > Run > msinfo32
On the System Summary, the Version item provides that information.

Best regards,

Edgar

Hi Bill,

there's one additional bug regarding the Name length.

>
> Name (variable): Name terminates with a 0x00 byte. It may include a 
> NetBIOS scope identifier, as specified in [RFC1001]. The maximum 
> length of the Name field is 255 bytes including the 0x00 byte. If no

When a windows server gets a name with length == 255 it removes the last character of the scope before storing it.

Windows returns a name with length 254 when it returns the name again.

See the attached capture (172.31.9.211 is Windows 2008 and 172.31.9.1 is a modified smbtorture).

Frame 19 smbtorture => windows 2008 name length 255 Frame 25 windows 2008 => smbtorture name length 254
