agreed, thanks for reporting this.

My impression is that your patch is incorrect, too.

The real problem seems to be:

<--   snip  -->

...
                /* We should never be called with any of these states */
        case SMB_RECV_END:
        case SMB_RECV_REQUEST:
                server->rstate = SMB_RECV_END;
                break;
...
        if (server->rstate != SMB_RECV_END)
                return 0;

        result = 0;
        if (req->rq_trans2_command && req->rq_rcls == SUCCESS)
                result = smb_recv_trans2(server, req);
[more code]
...

<--  snip  -->


A second try:

The problem is actually only in the SMB_RECV_END and SMB_RECV_REQUEST 
cases and all code after the NULL pointer dereference is actually dead 
code.

It turned out it removes much code, but unless I've made another mistake 
in understanding the code in question, all it actually does is replacing 
a NULL pointer dereference with a BUG().

The code after the NULL/BUG is also changed by this, but I'd expect that 
in this "impossible" case the problems are bigger and there's no proper 
handling anyway.

<--  snip  -->


In a case documented as

  We should never be called with any of these states

, replace a NULL pointer dereference with a BUG() and remove all code 
that would only have been called after the NULL pointer dereference.
