Issue #20096 has been updated by kjtsanaktsidis (KJ Tsanaktsidis). Thank you for your report. Your diagnosis looks right, this probably is a memory overread. Your patch looks reasonable - are you able to open this as a Github pull request? Also, are you familiar with `REG_MULTI_SZ`? To my quick glance, that looks like it should also not need the `termsize` value (it's already appending `WCHAR_NUL` like your patch is). Do you think that should be removed too? ---------------------------------------- Bug #20096: Ruby 3.2.2 win32/registry: Junk appended to Windows Registry String Value https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20096#change-105901 * Author: jay4rubydev (Jay M) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x64-mswin64_140] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Ruby Version: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x64-mswin64_140] Compiler: MSVC 2019 - Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.29.30147 for x64.

I agree about REG_MULTI_SZ - from checking the documentation of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winreg/nf-winreg-regsetv...: With the REG_MULTI_SZ data type, the string must be terminated with two null characters.

This is being done in registry.rb, so no need to add the termsize.

OK, great, thank you.

Sorry, I am not set up for git pull requests in my dev env.

No worries, I opened https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9381 for this. ---------------------------------------- Bug #20096: Ruby 3.2.2 win32/registry: Junk appended to Windows Registry String Value https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20096#change-105904 * Author: jay4rubydev (Jay M) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x64-mswin64_140] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Ruby Version: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x64-mswin64_140] Compiler: MSVC 2019 - Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.29.30147 for x64.
