[Forwarding to the proper list]
We use hivex for one of our projects and I see the following diff committed to
the hivex project (source link provided) that ignores trailing garbage. But
this code has been reverted to no ignore this condition in later version of
hivex
- /* This error is seemingly common in uncorrupt registry files. */
- /*
- fprintf (stderr, "hivex: %s: ignoring trailing garbage at end of file
(at %zu, after %zu pages)\n",
- filename, off, h->pages);
- */
+ /* NB: This error is seemingly common in uncorrupt registry files. */
+ if (h->msglvl >= 2)
+ fprintf (stderr, "hivex: %s: ignoring trailing garbage at end of file
(at %zu, after %zu pages)\n",
+ filename, off, h->pages);
Break;

In your experience, is this a common condition seen in some windows hive files
and is it safe to ignore when this condition is encountered?
Thanks
