DOSBox
0.74-3
Overview
DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, Mac OS X.
DOSBox also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games.
You can "re-live" the good old days with the help of DOSBox, it can run plenty of the old classics that don't run on your new computer.
What's new in DOSBox
Version 0.74-3:
- Implement basic file access control for files available from within the emulation, so that programs running inside DOSBox can't access /proc (e.g. /proc/self/mem). (CVE-2019-12594)
- Unify unmounting code and add some protections against out of bound access when DOS_DRIVES is not 26.
- Use correct type for return value of strlen.
- Change scan3x to a bit brighter.
- Fix unitialized access to some isoDrive fields and improve stability when switching CD images.
- Small fix to hq3x.
- Fix 256 colour mode encoding in zmbv.dll.
- Some small aliassing fix.
- Change SET to check the size of the MCB when adding variables. Fixes hangs with Norton Commander.
- Check buffer length before doing tab completion.
- Correct buffer overflow with very long lines in bat files. (CVE-2019-7165)
- Correct the boundary check for the internal programs array.
- Increase stability in max cycles mode by increasing the lower bound.
- Fix command prompt in windows 3.11 with dynrec core.
- Fix Win64 dynrec core.
- Always clear buffers before drawing in OpenGL mode. Fixes artifacts with drivers that have more than 2 buffers and overlays.
- Fix red border that appeared when scaling the image in OpenGL mode with Nvidia on Linux and Mac.
- Change default output to opengl on Mac, as surface is very slow there in 64 bit.
- Add workaround for the mouse unlocking problem with X.org 1.20.1.
