smbd: memory corruption

Hello

My ReadyNAS 104 is becoming unresponsive frequently. I have to unplug the power cable to restart it.

I discover many memory corruption errors before the crash in smbd.log:

[2018/02/08 15:29:27.481286, 2] ../source3/auth/auth.c:314(auth_check_ntlm_password)
check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [<username>] -> [<username>] -> [<domain>\<username>] succeeded
*** Error in `/usr/sbin/smbd': malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0184cf40 ***

[2018/02/08 18:46:05.200054, 1] ../source3/auth/user_krb5.c:142(get_user_from_kerberos_info)
PAM account restrictions prevent user [<domain>\<username>] login
*** Error in `/usr/sbin/smbd': malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0184c300 ***
*** Error in `/usr/sbin/smbd': malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0184c300 ***

The firmware was upgraded to the latest version (6.9.2) and I have no app.

This device is too old to get the Netgear support.

    Perhaps too old to get free support, but not too old to get paid support via my.netgear.com.

     

    Note the hardware warranty is 3 years, so it might still be covered.  Though the memory issue could be software related.

     

    What services do you have enabled, and what apps are you using?

      I have no app installed and I'm not using iSCSI, backup or cloud features.

      The list of services: SMB, HTTP, HTTPS, SSH

      I use Active Directory for authentication.

        Do you use snapshots?

         

        Are quotas enabled on your data volume?
