Missing validation in MmMapViewOfSection
by Myria 04 May '06

04 May '06

If the ImageBase for a given executable is in the kernel range (above 0x7FFE1000 or whatever), from reading the code it seems like no validation will stop it from going above that address. I have no way to try it out because I don't have reactos installed. Interestingly, in Windows XP SP2, the only illegal ImageBase values are: 7C800000 - Causes a dialog box to appear during the ntdll process initialization APC saying that the program can't run because kernel32.dll was relocated. 7C900000 - Causes PspMapSystemDll to fail. As a result, the process is never created and NtCreateProcessEx returns an error. These errors occur even when /fixed:no is used. Every other address is allowed by Windows as long as /fixed:no is specified, even above the user-kernel barrier. Personally I think reactos should allow user mode programs to shove ntdll and kernel32 out of the way, but that's just me =) Finally, 04477 MmUnlockAddressSpace(AddressSpace); 04478 return(STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL); and the one below it should return STATUS_CONFLICTING_ADDRESSES, determined by attempting to load an image based at a kernel address without a relocation section. MmCreatePeb has an invalid assertion: ASSERT(Peb == (PVOID)0x7FFDF000); If the process's .exe already is at that address, the PEB will be at the wrong address. There's also a nice way for a user-mode program to bugcheck the kernel or leak a small amount of information in MmCreatePeb: ImageConfigData = RtlImageDirectoryEntryToData(Peb->ImageBaseAddress, To crash the kernel, put a bogus load config directory entry pointer in your .exe. To read an arbitrary dword or two, set up the load config pointer such that it aims at your desired memory address, then read the PEB's OSCSDVersion and ImageProcessAffinityMask values once your process starts.

IsPowerOf2 is inefficient
by Myria 04 May '06

04 May '06

IsPowerOf2 in the kernel is badly inefficient. It should be this: __inline BOOLEAN IsPowerOf2(IN ULONG Number) { if (Number == 0) return FALSE; return (Number & (Number - 1)) == 0; } Not that this function is called frequently, shrug. Melissa

Re: [Freedce-devel] pthread_clear_exit_np()

okay, so these are the options: 1) forget redhat and forget them ever being helpful and supporting strategically important free software projects, and go back to using dcethreads posix draft 4 "emulation". 2) forget redhat and forget them ever being helpful and supporting strategically important free software projects, and put the cancellation "wrapper" side back into the dcethreads library - just keep the same posix "final draft" API. lord only knows what would happen on pthreads-win32 when compiling freedce with mingw32, with the "wrapper" stuff back in, but i'd be fascinated to find out. 3) think of ways to persuade the developers of glibc to enter into reasonable conversations and dialog to help support a strategically important free software project. how does any other project manage this (and what in hell's name prompted ulrich to be so dismissive?)

How does NTVDM allocate the zero page?
by Myria 04 May '06

04 May '06

How does NTVDM allocate memory at address 0 for the V86 IDT? Is it different in reactos vs. Windows? NtAllocateVirtualMemory won't allow that. Melissa

In fact, cleanup handlers need not be used at all. This approach requires the NPTL r ather than the LinuxThreads, API and is orthogonal to the previous issue about removing thread cancellation (that was a runtime issue present with NPTL regardless of which header one compiles against). Instead of calling _pthread_cleanup_push_defer(), we can store a __pthread_unwind_buf_t in the exception context and call __sigsetjmp() and __pthread_register_cancel_defer(). If __sigsetjmp() returns from a longjmp(), then we call dce_pthread_test_exit_np() to test whether the thread was cancelled, and set the current exception to pthread_cancel_e if necessary. No cleanup handler is necessary. The trick is that the code that raises an exception needs to call the internal API __pthread_unwind(), rather than longjmp(). Of course this ends up calling longjmp() anyway but hopefully does the right thing with respect to any other cleanup handlers that are registered. Another idea is to use the _Unwind_XXX API, but this strikes me as a little ambitious for now and I don't have any desire to interleave C++ and DCE exceptions. /* * For the NPTL API we share a setjmp/longjmp buffer between the * pthreads cancellation and DCE exception handling APIs. * * Note that we never actually call the cancellation function, we * just change the current exception context directly; this is the * same as calling dce_ptdexc_raise(&pthread_cancel_e) except that * __pthread_unwind() is not called. */ #define dce_exc_cleanup_push(cu, routine, arg) do \ { \ __exc_occured = __sigsetjmp((struct __jmp_buf_tag *)(cu)->__cancel_buf.__cancel_jmp_buf, 0); \ if (__exc_occured) \ { \ void *__status; \ \ if (dce_pthread_test_exit_np(&__status) == PTHREAD_STATUS_EXIT_NP \ && __status == PTHREAD_CANCELED) \ __exc_ctxt.exc = &pthread_cancel_e; \ } \ else \ { \ __pthread_register_cancel_defer(&(cu)->__cancel_buf); \ } \ } while (0) #define dce_exc_cleanup_pop(cu, execute) do \ { \ __pthread_unregister_cancel_restore(&(cu)->__cancel_buf); \ } while (0) /* make this a NOOP because we called it above */ #define dce_exc_setjmp(jmpbuf, val) /* we call __pthread_unwind() directly from dce_ptdexc_raise() */ #undef dce_exc_longjmp -- Luke -- ----- End forwarded message ----- -- -- lkcl.net - mad free software computer person, visionary and poet. --
