The Samba Team is happy to report that Samba is now free from Coverity reported defects!

Coverity recently ran a scan of open source projects, which included Samba's TRUNK branch. Coverity's site describes their scan as:

[...] a new baseline for software quality and security in open source based on the analysis of over 30 of the most critical and widely used open source projects in the world. Under a contract with the Department of Homeland Security, we apply the latest innovation in automated defect detection to uncover some of the most critical types of bugs found in software.

The initial scan reported 216 potential bugs in Samba. In a week and a half, Samba Team developers have fixed all reported bugs. These changes will be applied to the next 3.0.x release.
