[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#864291: samba: CVE-2017-9461: infinite loop on bad-symlink resolution

[Hugo Lefeuvre]

Hi,

I couldn't reproduce this bug in the wheezy version and I think it
isn't affected.

I get the following error message:

    $ smbclient //server/share -c "posix; symlink nothing broken"
    (...)
    $ smbclient //localhost/shareddir -c "put /etc/issue broken"
    Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.6]
    NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND opening remote file \broken

In the wheezy version, the fd_open_atomic function doesn't exist and
the existing fd_open function doesn't use loops.

Regards,
 Hugo
