Solaris guest Can't execute programs on Windows host shared folders => Fixed in SVN

[markpizz]

Host: Windows 7 x64 Guest: Solaris (10 9/10 & 11 11/11)

Shared Folders work, EXCEPT trying to execute programs residing on the shared folder fails with a "Killed" message. If I copy the executable program to a local (to the guest) file system, it executes normally.

This same behavior DOES NOT happen with Linux guests!

Steps to reproduce:

$ cp /bin/cp /mnt/sf_share/ $ /mnt/sf_share/cp a b Killed $

Which version of the VBox Guest Additions do you have installed in the guest?

[markpizz]

Guest Additions Version 4.1.6

Yes, this is a bug in the new mmap code where we disallow PROT_WRITE's completely when instead we should only disallow MAP_SHARED+PROT_WRITE's. This has been fixed in internal SVN and backported (the fix will be included in the next 4.1.x release).

Thank you for the report.

Fix is part of VBox 4.1.8.
