[Bug 328874] [NEW] getent group crashes winbindd on domain controller

[Adrien Cunin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

I encountered this bug on a hardy domain controller using winbind to
fetch user/group informations from another NT domain (the Samba domain
trusts the NT domain). Calling getent group just crashes winbindd, as
seen in the log attached.

This is a bug known and fixed upstream [0] (in 3.2.6 and 3.3.0).
Fixing jaunty is a matter of uploading the latest 3.2 version.
Fixing hardy requires backporting the patch (I successfully tested it already). Actually the bug is not fixed in any maintenance release of 3.0, and I'm not sure it will ever be (as it seems to be EOL), but I got upstream to confirm the fix is appropriate for this branch as well [1] and commit it [2].
If someone is interested, we could also fix intrepid. I don't know about other releases.
