Dear winpcap team -
On Win32 (I'm running Win XP Pro with the latest MS service packs applied),
I've noted that your latest v3.1beta4 release of winpcap will crash if I
execute the following sequence of packet.dll API calls on a WAN adapter:
lpAdapter = PacketOpenAdapter(adapterName);
PacketCloseAdapter(lpAdapter);
lpAdapter is of course not NULL. After the call to PacketOpenAdapter, I look
at the structure that lpAdapter points to and lpAdapter->pWanAdapter is
non-NULL, indicating that it is a WAN adapter. adapterName in this case is
"\Device\NPF_GenericNdisWanAdapter".
When the code crashes somewhere in PacketCloseAdapter, the error message I
get in the Microsoft Visual C++ debugger is:
"Unhandled exception at 0x7c918fea in TreckDemo32d18.exe: 0xC0000005: Access
violation writing location 0x00000010."
If I try this exact same sequence of calls with a non-WAN adapter
(lpAdapter->pWanAdapter is NULL), it works perfectly fine.
I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to code around this problem. Right now,
what comes to mind is doing a string search in the adapterName to look for
"WanAdapter" and if found then don't try opening the adapter because of this
bug. That's obviously a hack, I'd prefer if you instead fix this.
Thanks.
