** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * In case of accessing directories chdir to it directly instead of its + parent directory. This changes how dir symlinks are handled in root + shares and leads to avoiding the ACCESS_DENIED ISSUE. + + [Test Case] + + 1. Prepare smb server with a share: + [rootshare] + guest ok = yes + path = / + wide links = no + follow symlinks = yes + 2. On the server: + mkdir -p /srv/dir + ln -s /srv/dir /srv/symdir. + 3. Connect from a client: + smbclient -d 5 -m smb3 //server/rootshare -c "cd srv\symdir; dir" + + [Regression Potential] + + * When accessing broken symlinks share's base directory is accessed. + This however seems to be consistent with a pre-fix behavior. + + [Other Info] + + Original bug description: + See Samba bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12873 for more information and test case.
