CVE-2025-9640: s3/modules/vfs_streams_xattr fix unitialized write
This commit fixes a situation in which vfs_streams_xattr could
write unitialized memory into alternate data streams if the
user writes to an offset that is beyond the current end of file
to insert a hole in it.

CVE-2025-9640: Add torture test for inserting hole in stream

CVE-2025-10230: s4:wins: restrict names fed to shell
If the "wins hook" smb.conf parameter is set, the WINS server will
attempt to execute that value in a shell command line when a client
asks to modify a name. The WINS system is a trusting one, and clients
can claim any NETBIOS name they wish.
With the source3 nmbd WINS server (since the 1999 commit now called
3db52feb1f3b2c07ce0b06ad4a7099fa6efe3fc7) the wins hook will not be
run for names that contain shell metacharacters. This restriction has
not been present on the source4 nbt WINS server, which is the WINS
server that will be used in the event that an Active Directory Domain
Controller is also running WINS.
This allowed an unauthenticated client to execute arbitrary commands
on the server.
This commit brings the nmbd check into the nbt WINS server, so that
the wins hook will only be run for names that contain only letters,
digits, hyphens, underscores and periods. This matches the behaviour
described in the smb.conf man page.
The source3 nmbd WINS server has another layer of protection, in that
it uses the smb_run() exec wrapper that tries to escape arguments. We
don't do that here.

CVE-2025-10230: s4/tests: check that wins hook sanitizes names
An smb.conf can contain a 'wins hook' parameter, which names a script
to run when a WINS name is changed. The man page says
The second argument is the NetBIOS name. If the name is not a
legal name then the wins hook is not called. Legal names contain
only letters, digits, hyphens, underscores and periods.
but it turns out the legality check is not performed if the WINS
server in question is the source4 nbt one. It is not expected that
people will run this server, but they can. This is bad because the
name is passed unescaped into a shell command line, allowing command
injection.
For this test we don't care whether the WINS server is returning an
error code, just whether it is running the wins hook. The tests show
it often runs the hook it shouldn't, though some characters are
incidentally blocked because the name has to fit in a DN before it
gets to the hook, and DNs have a few syntactic restrictions (e.g.,
blocking '<', '>', and ';').
The source3 WINS server that is used by Samba when not run as a DC is
not affected and not here tested.
