Bug ID: 52185
           Summary: IDA 7.6 irregular crashes when used in an IPC
                    namespace
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.23
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

When used within an environment that restricts the IPC Namespace, such as
within a Docker container or a Firejail environment, IDA crashes irregularly
when performing certain tasks. This can result in frustrating crashes and lost
work.

This is fairly simple to reproduce with just the help of the "unshare" utility:
1. Install IDA Free:
    wget https://out7.hex-rays.com/files/idafree76_windows.exe
    wine idafree76_windows.exe
    # Follow the installation, install to default location
    unshare -Ui wine 'C:\Program Files\IDA Freeware 7.6\ida64.exe'
2. Follow the prompts until you reach the main window which says "Drag a file
here to disassemble it"
3. Unmaximize the window if maximized, grab a corner and keep resizing the
window
4. Keep doing this for up to 10 seconds. The window will disappear and the
following will be shown on the terminal:
    X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
      Major opcode of failed request:  131 (MIT-SHM)
      Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_ShmPutImage)
      Value in failed request:  0x2e0
      Serial number of failed request:  5854
      Current serial number in output stream:  5858

This has been tested and verified on the following platforms:
- Gentoo (WINE 6.20, 6.22)
- Kubuntu 21.10 (WINE 6.0.2, 6.23)
- Kubuntu 20.04 (WINE 6.0.2, 6.23)
As well as the following desktop environments/window managers:
- KDE
- i3

Workarounds:
On docker, you can use the `docker run --ipc=host` command to disable the IPC
namespace.
On firejail, you can use the `ignore ipc-namespace` setting to disable the IPC
namespace.

Worth noting that I've built WINE 5.0 on Gentoo as well and it crashes on there
too. I'm not sure when this started happening on my machine. It might've been a
kernel or Xorg upgrade, or a change to my firejail settings that went unnoticed
for a while.

Are you sure this is specific to IDA Pro?

I think we should test other Qt-based applications as well.

I recently ran into the same issue using LTspice, though for some reason these
are the first two programs I've ever found to trigger this issue.

It turns out that this bug is not specific to WINE:

- https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/issues/257
- https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/issues/359

I propose CLOSED NOTOURBUG.

It doesn't help that both are GDI-heavy applications, which prefer GDI32 APIs
over DirectDraw.

Agreed, if XShm doesn't work the X11 server shouldn't claim that it's
supported.

I see, I wasn't aware this was a global issue, as IDA/WINE were the first
applications to exert this issue despite having been running fine for what
feels like forever.

Thanks for looking into this and the pointers.
