ok mdgx.

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

* Microsoft Windows 98/ME JScript JSCRIPT.DLL Security Vulnerability Fix:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms06-023.mspx

JScript 5.6 Patch for Windows 98/98 SE/ME [329 KB, English]:

http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...d10b72452f7.Exe

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.

Thats OMG! :blink:

MS made actual new patch for Windows?

Where did you find it?! I can't see any info about it on page.

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

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:

I am attaching the corrected KRNL386.EXE file that Microsoft now has had for

many weeks. I don't think they are going to address this insidious bug in the

original KERNEL anytime soon. It would be great indeed if you could host this

and the other file on your web site.

PS.: Although 32-bit programs call code in KRNL386.EXE through KERNEL32, GDI32

-> GDI.EXE, and USER32 -> USER.EXE, normally they are not at all affected by

the buggy code. Only certain 16-bit programs call the buggy code in KRNL386.EXE

directly.

Really i'm lost... Should i remove or stay with my current check code? :unsure:

As I understand, this patch does not check icon before loading, it removes theoretical exploit possibility, preventing buffer overrun. :blink:

MDGx, maybe you should add OS checking code? I don't think that it will be good to install it on other OSes.

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.

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.

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

Yes, everything is possible, but ...

Important:

New VOLTRACK.VXD fix locks up with a "Windows protection error" message upon reboot.

Therefore I have deleted the file from my web site.

But I just discovered the one from WinME CD works ok. ;)

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

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.

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.

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. ;-(
