[PATCH 0/1] MR11730: windowscodecs: Pass pcbRead to IStream::Read() in jpeg_decoder_get_metadata_blocks().
by Shaun Ren (＠shaunren) Aug. 22, 2026

Aug. 22, 2026

Some non-conforming IStream implementations, including SharpDX, do not handle a NULL pcbRead for Read() [^1]. This causes the game "Surviving Deponia Playtest" to display a black main menu.

[PATCH v7 0/1] MR11387: start: Avoid buffer overflows during path lookup.
by Likun Li (＠lilikun124) Aug. 22, 2026

Aug. 22, 2026

start.exe searches for its first argument using fixed-size path buffers. Several normalized paths, path components, executable names, and PATHEXT entries were copied without consistent bounds checks, allowing a long protocol URL to cause an access violation before ShellExecuteExW. Validate each destination buffer operation and leave arguments that cannot be represented by the path search buffers unchanged for ShellExecuteExW. The later fix update adds a cmd.exe conformance test. It registers a temporary protocol and verifies that cmd.exe /c start passes a URL longer than MAX_PATH to its handler unchanged. Related merge request: !11386 adds per-user protocol lookup and desktop export for handlers registered under HKCU\\Software\\Classes. End-to-end Notion Calendar testing was performed with this MR and !11386 applied together.

[PATCH v4 0/1] MR9579: Draft: ntdll: On macOS, transform the main thread into a Wine thread (running a CFRunLoop) on launch.
by Brendan Shanks (＠bshanks) Aug. 22, 2026

Aug. 22, 2026

Currently, the process's main thread runs `main()` -> `__wine_main()` -> `apple_main_thread()` -> `CFRunLoopRun()`. A run loop source is added that creates the Wine main thread and runs `start_main_thread()`. With this MR, the Wine main thread calls `transform_mac_main_thread()` in `server_init_process()`. That essentially calls `NtCreateThreadEx()`, but instead of creating a new pthread it adds a source to the main thread run loop to run `start_thread()`. This transforms the process main thread into a Wine thread, after that it calls the PE `__wine_mac_run_cfrunloop()` in ntdll. That does a run_mac_cfrunloop Unix call, which just runs `CFRunLoopRun()`. The process main thread is now a Wine thread, but is otherwise still a normal Mac application main thread (including the ability for winemac to transform into a Cocoa application). In theory it might be possible to avoid the initial `CFRunLoopRun()` and have `apple_main_thread()` just spawn the Wine main thread and wait to run `start_thread()`, but the extra `CFRunLoopRun()` on the stack doesn't hurt anything. An exception/crash on the process main thread will be caught like a normal syscall fault, but `__wine_mac_run_cfrunloop()` prints an error and terminates the process. I think this is an improvement over the current behavior, which is a segfault in the signal handler when it tries to access the non-existent TEB that results in the thread hanging and eating 100% CPU. (Arguably it would be even better to unregister the signal handler and re-throw the signal so the user gets a normal macOS crash report with a helpful backtrace, maybe this could be done later.) Besides exception handling, having the main thread be a Wine thread will also allow the full use of Wine logging functions (!9503), and should allow winemac to be simplified (where many AppKit functions must be called from the main thread, and events are delivered to the main thread). -- v4: ntdll: Convert the macOS main thread into a Wine system thread on launch. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9579

Re: [PATCH v9 0/5] MR11315: winevdm.c: Fix how Wine handles DOS-era PIF files.

Hi @BigBlueGnu I locally switched to this PR to see if I could try and move this PR along (Hopefully the instructions below are not too verbose...) To fix the current MR, you need to do the following: 1. `git rebase -i upstream/master` 2. change `pick` to `drop` for all commits except with `Update 2 files` 3. `git reset "HEAD^"` 4. `git add programs/winevdm/winevdm.c` 5. `git commit` Put this: ``` winevdm.c: Fix how Wine handles DOS-era PIF files. Wine-Bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3638 ``` 6. `git restore dlls/winex11.drv/keyboard.c` 7. `git rebase --continue` Then you can just force push and it should be cleared up. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/11315#note_149588

[PATCH v2 0/1] MR11701: loader: detect circular export forwarders and return the appropriate error
by Kyle Yang (＠kyle) Aug. 22, 2026

Aug. 22, 2026

When export forwarders have circular dependencies, Wine currently causes a stack overflow, which differs from Windows behavior. This patch uses a stack to detect circular dependencies and returns the same error code as Windows.
