[Bug 44460] New: Wine' s loader should prevent multiple executable mappings of images (dlls) backed by the same physical file (long path vs. short path)

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44460 Bug ID: 44460 Summary: Wine's loader should prevent multiple executable mappings of images (dlls) backed by the same physical file (long path vs. short path) Product: Wine Version: 3.0 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ntdll Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: focht(a)gmx.net Distribution: --- Hello folks, split out from bug 35106 because there are multiple issues and this one affects a different area: Wine loader. Currently, loading a dll with default load flags one time with long path name and the other time with short path name (= same physical file) results in two different mappings of the dll which creates problems with apps expecting unique instance data. In short: Wine's loader currently lacks a more elaborate identity check to prevent this case. CMS DVR (video surveillance app) v1.0.0.8 uses multiple MFC-based ActiveX/COM servers. Taking the first one 'WndManager.ocx' as example: --- snip --- -=[ ProtectionID v0.6.9.0 DECEMBER]=- (c) 2003-2017 CDKiLLER & TippeX Build 24/12/17-21:05:42 Ready...

'load_native_dll' function needs to implement additional checks after creating the file-backed section view, before doing anything further (reloc fixups, allocating module entry, ...). Essentially walk the current module list and for each entry: * basic (quick) check: time/date stamp and image size against NT file header data from the newly created section view (NOTE: 'alloc_module' currently doesn't copy 'TimeDateStamp' from 'FileHeader.TimeDateStamp' which is needed for comparison) * memory compare IMAGE_NT_HEADERS * use NtAreMappedFilesTheSame() to check if the views from the image sections are backed by the same physical file If these conditions are met, the existing module entry shall be used and the new mapping must be destroyed (NtUnmapViewOfSection). I've already tested this using an own prototype. It seems to work fine without breaking other apps. NOTE: It doesn't prevent the crash reported in bug 35106 (another issue, unrelated to loader) but makes Wine more compliant with Windows OS loader behaviour. $ sha1sum General_CMS_Eng_V1.0.0.8.T.20101202.exe 902e9408ebfc295ce2477fe3d9ca05e8a7588589 General_CMS_Eng_V1.0.0.8.T.20101202.exe $ du -sh General_CMS_Eng_V1.0.0.8.T.20101202.exe 4.7M General_CMS_Eng_V1.0.0.8.T.20101202.exe $ wine --version wine-3.0-260-gdf715e5a9a Regards -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 44441] for loop reading a file strips out double quotes and then equals

by wine-bugs＠winehq.org

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44441 --- Comment #3 from Fabian Maurer <dark.shadow4(a)web.de> --- With other batch issues, do you mean in wine or windows? I don't know how likely it is to be worked on, but it probably will be a while until it's fixed, speaking from experience. You'd need someone who understand cmd enough and is willing to fix that. Sidenote, "winetricks -q cmd" doesn't help, since that version of cmd doesn't handle the for loop properly (when run under wine, it work natively. Probably yet another bug). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Well, it might take some more time, but splitting it into two parts can't harm, I guess. But I'd send both patches at once, as a patchset. Just make sure to mark the tests as todo_wine in the first patch, and remove the todo_wine with the patch that fixes the issue. > Fabian, may I have your permission to put your name in Signed-off-by for > this part, along with mine?

[Bug 43679] PDF-XChange's typewriter tool works only once

by wine-bugs＠winehq.org

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43679 --- Comment #16 from Tommaso <tommaso.cucinotta(a)gmail.com> --- Ubuntu way: 0) [optional] ensure wine64 is out of the way, cleanup ~/.wine (64-bit and 32-bit ~/.wine seem incompatible with each other) sudo apt-get remove wine64 mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-bak 1) install wine32 sudo apt-get install wine32 2) download the Zip Installer from Tracker Software https://www.tracker-software.com/product/downloads/enduser/pdf-xchange-edit… 3) unzip it, to exctract PDFXVE7.exe: unzip PDFXVE7.zip 4) launch the installer: wine PDFXVE7.exe 5) add to your ~/.bashrc: alias pdfxedit='wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Tracker\ Software/PDF\ Editor/PDFXEdit.exe 2> /dev/null' 6) spawn a new shell, and enjoy your new alias: pdfxedit /path/to/file.pdf Note: after step 1), steps 2), 3) and 4) might be automatically doable through the web browser (when u download the zip, choose Open with Archive, then double click on the .exe, and it should be picked up by wine automatically) Note: with the 32-bit wine, most of the times this bug cannot be seen, but occasionally it pops out anyway. With wine64 instead, it is basically impossible to annotate PDFs with the text tool. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
