I'm pleased to announce the next release of hivex, a library and some tools for reading and writing Windows Registry hive files.

Hivex is a small, self-contained C library for reading and writing Windows Registry "hive" binary files. I'm pleased to announce version 1.3.15 which you can get from: http://download.libguestfs.org/hivex/ Highlights of this release: - Improved performance by using a cache of iconv handles, especially when dumping out large hives (Hilko Hengen). - Add the ‘hivexregedit

This series of patches prepares the way for a later series which will add write support for Windows Registry 'hive' files to our 'hivex' mini library. About hivex: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html About the Windows Registry: Forget it - there are no reliable references. However the Wikipedia page explains some of the top level concepts:

This is now complete and soon the new packages will be merged into Fedora Rawhide: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-2e0b2d6395 A few non-critical packages failed to build, and I will look at these later unless someone gets around to it before me. The failures are listed at the end. Notable changes: - Release notes: https://ocaml.org/releases/4.09.0.html - ocaml-camlp4

Use the ocamlmklib -ldopt flag to pass the general $(LDFLAGS) when calling gcc to link dllmlhivex.so. We were already passing $(CFLAGS) when building the object file. When building using Fedora's standard hardening flags this gives: ocamlmklib -o mlhivex hivex_c.o hivex.cmo \ -verbose -ldopt '-Wl,-z,relro -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld' \ -L../lib/.libs

I am going to make an attempt at debugging this tonight, any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, -Hilko ,---- | (sid)bengen at

This series of patches, now up to 13 parts, contains lots of bug fixes and groundwork required before we add write support to the hivex library.

This contains multiple large code refactorings (see previous patches posted on this list), plus, hopefully, a full fix for these bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717583 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=987463 It's a (slightly) risky release and it could do with a lot of testing. I've also created a separate git repo of Windows registry hives:

Since commit d5b6f1df5ff2d387a5dfc89b8316c0dff67ce2c9, the daemon requires ocaml-hivex; OTOH, nothing checks it is actually available, so the build of the daemon will fail with a semi-cryptic error about the lack of a directory in the OCaml install prefix. As fix, check for the presence of the hivex module at build time, failing earlier if not present. The check is performed only when the daemon

Do a configure check for the OPEN_UNSAFE flag in the OCaml binding of Hivex, using it only when available. This makes it possible to use hivex < 1.3.14 to build libguestfs (the daemon, actually). Amend the building documentation accordingly, bringing the minimum version of hivex back as it was before commit 64f49df747c0937d9433eb11d4191d92a4af748c. --- .gitignore | 1 +

Hello all, I am in the process of adding a new return type for the hivex ABI, and I found what I think is an error. I'm not sure, because I don't understand the OCaml binding data structures. Can somebody inform me if the patch below actually corrects a problem? --Alex --- generator/generator.ml | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git
