#1465 closed defect (fixed)

SAM: Crash when screen saver is active

Reported by: Kirben Owned by: eriktorbjorn
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Sam and Max

Description

Latest ScummVM cvs version (Either branch) English version of Sam and Max CD Compiled under mingw with GCC 3.2.3 and running under Windows XP

Sam and Max sometimes crashes when the screen saver is activated during the ending credits. This is due to crash in midi parser.

One of the screen savers seems enable to draw over verbs area correctly too.

I have attached valgrind logs, which report invalid reads at several points. Jamieson, could you have a look at music issue ?

The backtrace you posted is not in the MIDI parser, though. How does it add up to what you said earlier? What exactly shows that this is a crash in the MIDI parser?

Looking at the Valgrind log, it seems as if indeed MidiParser::readVLQ and MidiParser_SMF::parseNextEvent sometimes read a byte too much, which should be fixed, but the crash itself occurs due to a read access when trying to access the screenPtr, no?

comment:3 by Kirben, 20 years ago

I noticed this happened at another point in Sam & Max when screen saver was activated too, so looks like it isn't limited to this point (Ending credits) in game.

It looks like either sutation can cause ScummVM to crash, the first time it crashed it was in MIDI parser. I should have posted both earlier, GDB output of first crash is below: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I don't know about the MIDI parser crash, but I added some bounds-checking to that kernel operation so that pixels outside the screen are now claimed to have colour 0. Hopefully that should help some.

Actually, on the trunk Fingolfin had already added a couple of asserts, but since we already *know* Sam & Max will trigger those I replaced them by said bounds-checking, and a big fat warning message. It seemed like a kinder, gentler thing to do.

What's the status of this now? Does it still happen, or can it be closed?

comment:7 by Kirben, 20 years ago

I'm unable to reproduce the issue now, so seems it is fixed.

comment:8 by eriktorbjorn, 20 years ago

I'm closing this, then. If SourceForge will stay responsive long enough for me to do so...
