Are you getting this on the server or on the client?

If you are familiar with the fairly simple process of 
building a kernel module, would you try building current
cifs code (1.48) to make sure it does not already fix this
(this matches the level of cifs in mainline linux kernel 2.6.21-rc)
	http://svn.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/cifs-1.48.tar.gz


If on the client, and it is not already fixed, please 
open a bug report at bugzilla.samba.org selecting
component CIFSVFS.  If the verify_redzone bug is happening
on the server, cifs vfs is not running on that machine (Samba server
is implemented in userspace not kernel), and you would open the bug at
bugzilla.kernel.org
