- Improve the capture of OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES parameters that are passed
(by pointer) to the Cm* helper functions, and the capture of
UNICODE_STRINGs.
- Correctly differentiate user-mode vs. kernel-mode root directory handles
(in OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES): note that most of the Cm* APIs expect their
parameters to be kernel-mode (pointers, handles...).
CORE-13448
- Validate the information class parameter in NtQueryValueKey().
- Call the post-callback in NtSetValueKey() only if the callback
has been registered and the CmSetValueKey() call is executed.
Based on an original patch by Timo Kreuzer, with modifications by me to adapt it to latest HEAD and use a single exit path through the Cleanup label. This reliably frees all allocated handles.
The original code returns STATUS_SUCCESS for many cases. This has been preserved.
In the future, it should be checked though whether returning success is appropriate for all these cases.
CORE-6844
- When we are in LiveCD mode (more generally, when hives are shared), load
the system hives as volatile.
- Ignore hive write operations when everything operates in read-only mode
and just return success instead.
- Just return success on hive file I/O if no file is associated with a
given hive. This happens when e.g. a CM hive has a primary but no log.
