From b363b3304bcf68c4541683b2eff70b29f0446a5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve French Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:57:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [CIFS] Fix memory overwrite when saving nativeFileSystem field during mount CIFS can allocate a few bytes to little for the nativeFileSystem field during tree connect response processing during mount. This can result in a "Redzone overwritten" message to be logged.
