EDITED ON AUGUST 25, 2006:

ok mdgx.


Still wondering if an unofficial Win95 Q249824 VOLTRACK.VXD patch will be made. MS KB article 249824 DOES mention Windows 95.

Quote

The Win98/ME JSCRIPT.DLL MS06-023 fix for Win98 REQUIRES WSH 5.6 (build 8825) installed first. It wont work with other versions of WSH such as WSH 5.1 & 5.5.

This post has been edited by erpdude8: 25 August 2006 - 09:13 AM

Thats OMG!
MS made actual new patch for Windows?
Where did you find it?! I can't see any info about it on page.
Slovenian update still without new KRNL386.EXE...

Tihiy, on May 21 2005, 10:03 PM, said:

This does not look like patch from Microsoft. Please look inside. This is just binary patch - but from what source?

Petr

Yes, and should it should replace MS patch?
I believe 2 vulnerabilites meant in article are separated.

I got the patch from anonymous source.
Sender states it's from MS, so I created installer for it with Iexpress [same style as all other MS patches, just the QFE*.* files are missing ].
Enjoy.
This is the explanation:

Quote

Really i'm lost... Should i remove or stay with my current check code?
As I understand, this patch does not check icon before loading, it removes theoretical exploit possibility, preventing buffer overrun.
MDGx, maybe you should add OS checking code? I don't think that it will be good to install it on other OSes.

MDGx, on May 21 2005, 10:31 PM, said:

Your anonymous source has sent you a file that is 100% not from Mirosoft. It is binary patched version 4.10.1998. It is interesting that the internal string "Windows 98" was changed to "Windows 98H". You can also note that the "SpecialBuild: QFE" is omitted.
Petr

Really, it looks like hexed (even resources aren't changed) file. But why it can't be from MS?
It looks like high quality patch anyway.

Tihiy, on May 21 2005, 11:03 PM, said:

Do you think that people in Microsoft lost the source code and are hexing their files??

Yes, everything is possible, but ...

Petr

I've also noticed the 98H strings and hex patch.
But looks like quality patch.
I'll get more info and will let you guys know.

MDGx, on May 21 2005, 11:52 PM, said:

What VOLTRACK.VXD do you mean? 4.10.1999 from Q234697 that is intended for Win98 PC-AT Japanese? Or some else?

Petr

Quote

Maybe they have not lost the code for those files but these are most likely to have been written long time ago in assembler and compiled with MASM. Those who wrote them may now be dead (there are some legends about that) or more simply not working for Microsoft anymore for obvious reasons.

So far as I have grasped reading posts at the Win32Asm Forum and the Masm Forum, it is very difficult if not often impossible for even highly skilled and experienced assembly progammers to make sense of even small snippets of code someone else wrote if is not exhaustively documented line by line.

So yes I think it is very possible MS could be hexing their files.

eidenk, on May 22 2005, 10:36 AM, said:

Maybe. I have different view to understanding of the assembly code - it is usualy not so bad, I have disassembled and understood many different codes written it assembler. Much worse it is with programs written in unknown high level language.

But back to the krnl386 - if somebody is hexing the file, it means to understand the binary code, and it means to convert it to assebmbler. And If I modify the assembler code and have the source code, then why to use hex editor instead of ascii editor + MASM?

As I wrote, I believe that it is possible, but it seems to be very unlikely to me that somebody who has source code would not use it in case of code modification. BTW, my guess is that krnl386.exe source code is C, maybe with fragments in MASM, not pure MASM.

Petr

Petr, on May 22 2005, 01:16 AM, said:

Actually that is the English VOLTRACK.VXD from 98SE [original 4.10.1998] patched to ver 4.10.1999 and probably fixed the same way the Japanese one is. [?]
These are only speculations, I'm waiting for this person to send more details.
What's important is that the way it is VOLTRACK.VXD locked up 3 computers I tried it on with a "Windows protection error".
BTW:
I've tested further VOLTRACK.VXD 4.90.3000 from WinME CD, but it doesn't work correctly, it doesn't read most of the CDs or DVDs I've tested in the 2 drives [1 CD-RW + 1 DVD-RW] installed in my PC. Bummer. ;-(

I've recreated KRNL386.EXE 4.10.1999 [English] patches to include OS version detection for Q891711 bug:
http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=46581

Why there are different versions for FE and SE?

Updated unofficial Q891711 + Q234967 patches [both English] = they all work now:
http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=46581

This the scoop about patched KRNL386.EXE 4.10.1999 [sent by patch author]:

Quote

The scoop about the fixed VOLTRACK.VXD [sent by patch author]:

Quote

Fixed VOLTRACK.VXD 4.10.1999 [patched by the same person who sent KRNL386.EXE] works on the 2 PCs I've tested, with both 98 FE + 98 SE.
Note that VOLTRACK.VXD patch is English, NOT Japanese.

Tihiy said:

I made 1 installer for 98 FE and 1 for 98 SE [total of 4 = see links above] because the "TargetWin9xVersion=" directive in the SED file [I used IEXPRESS.EXE from XP SP2] allows to install only on 1 specific OS build.
This line:
TargetWin9xVersion=4.10.2222
allows to install only on 98 SE.
This line:
TargetWin9xVersion=4.10.1998
allows to install only on 98 FE.

MDGx, on May 23 2005, 03:22 PM, said:

Q234697 article title is "Computer Hangs When Viewing Empty ORB Removable Drive in Japanese Windows 98".

So what is corrected by this new VOLTRACK.VXD if it is not for Japanese Windoes 98? And why Diskvsd.vxd is missing?
