Buffer overflow?

[Benjamin Kuit]

I've been playing with samba for a couple of weeks now, and recently
in the browse lists a funny looking domain/workgroup has been appearing,
funny in the sense that it's name contains nothing but 8 bit chars.

The respective line in browse.dat looks like this:
"\261\350\310\361\274\261"                   80001000  "\261\350\310\361\274\261"                      "\261\350\310\361\274\261"

I've used smbclient -L <server> on browse masters that I know of, to
try and find the source of this name, but only browse lists coming from
samba servers has this entry in them.

I've tried snoop and tcpdump to find the source, but to no avail.

Just wondering though, would this entry be the result of a buffer
overflow?

Any tests that I could try to prove or disprove it?

Samba 2.2 cvs on solaris2.8.

Thanks in advance

Bj
