sj->as: Its safe to say that the attached "bh.ppt" file is no PowerPoint format. I think you are having more experience detecting the right filter.
I've found the following behaviour inside type detection: a) flat detection select the internal type "impress_MS_PowerPoint_97" corresponding to the extension *.ppt b) The deep detection servcice of the draw module ("com.sun.star.draw.FormatDetector") returns no result. As SJ already said ... this file isn't realy a ppt-file. c) Afterwards the detection ask every office module to detect the unknown format. The deep detection service "com.sun.star.comp.sfx2.BinaryFormatDetector" crashes. On Windows nothing will happen ... because the windows runtime (?) handle this type of error. There is no exception ... no crash. The file wouldnt be loaded. But of course - there is a bug inside the detection of the bin filter module. AS->AW: Seems to be more your area.
AW->MBA: As discussed, please check if this happens at all after linking binfilter detection against the living sfx2.
The document is broken, so of course it is not loaded, but an error message is shown The crash does not appear in my CWS.
Reopened for reassignment
.
Please verify
Assigning it to Christian for verifying the bugfix.
Hello Christian, please check the bugfix. Thank you.
Setting the resolution again on fixed.
I get no errormessage when I load the file. On linux I get a crash while loading On windows nothing happens. Therefore I think this issue is fixed but failed.
back to mba
I checked the last installation set and indeed could reproduce the crash. Simply rebuilding the bindetect680mi.dll fixed the problem! Please reinstall and check again.
I installed it again and get the same behaviour. crsch on linux, nothing happens on Win.
This appeared to be a duplicate of issue 41365: in both cases a load error ocurred and the storage wasn't checked for being NULL.
The fix for #i41365# meanwhile was moved to the master, so this one is fixed there also. Please verify in m78 build.

There is no crash any time longer. I can't open the file but PPT also can't open it. I close this issue as duplicate
