| Summary | 0005180: TJvAppRegistryStorage.ReadDateTime is not very robust | ||||||
| Description |
If configured to store DateTime values as strings, then ReadDateTime will fall back to reading a float value if converting the string value to a DateTime fails. However, from what I can tell in testing, TJvAppRegistryStorage.DoReadFloat will successfully read from a string registry entry as long as the string is no more than 4 characters in size. As a result, TJvAppRegistryStorage.ReadDateTime will read corrupted or truncated string-formatted DateTime values, returning incorrect results, as long as the values are no more than 4 characters long. |

Did you have a better suggestion? |
|

It would make sense to me for TJvAppRegistryStorage.DoReadFloat to require that the registry value be a REG_BINARY that's exactly SizeOf(Extended) bytes long. That's the format created by TJvAppRegistryStorage.DoWriteFloat, so it should be safe. I'm really not familiar with TJvAppRegistryStorage - I came across this issue with ReadDateTime while trying to diagnose an error being raised by TJvProgramVersionCheck, which uses TJvAppStorage - so this suggestion may have problems that I'm not aware of. |

Having the zipped sources of a sample application showing this would help greatly |

Fixed in SVN. DoReadFloat now only accepts REG_BINARY as datatype |
