Keep the NTFS kernel-driver option as a generic in-kernel NTFS path rather than an ntfs3-specific path. Add --filesystem=kernel-ntfs and -m kernelntfs routes that select a registered or loadable kernel NTFS driver and mount with -i so mount.ntfs/ntfs-3g helpers are not invoked.
Preserve --filesystem=ntfs3 as a literal pin to the ntfs3 driver. Treat both ntfs3 and kernel-ntfs as mount-only selectors; volume creation continues to use filesystem type NTFS.
The preference and -m kernelntfs path only select an in-kernel NTFS driver when no explicit filesystem type was supplied and blkid detects NTFS.
Treat ntfs as the preferred in-kernel driver on Linux 7.1 and later, where the upstream read/write driver is expected. On earlier kernels, select ntfs only when module metadata identifies the standalone read/write driver and /sys/module confirms it loaded, avoiding ntfs3 read-only ntfs compatibility registrations. Fall back to ntfs3 otherwise, and report a generic kernel-driver error if neither supported driver is available or loadable.
Rename the internal preference/config field to MountNtfsWithKernelDriver, migrate the old MountNtfsWithNtfs3 preference key, and update UI strings, CLI help, documentation, release notes, and translation placeholders accordingly.

* ensure reproducible builds

* improve patch
* Narrow reproducibility scope to legacy and DEB
Keep the verified Linux legacy Makefile and DEB reproducibility paths, but remove the unverified RPM/openSUSE timestamp changes and AppImage reproducibility behavior from this PR.
The CPack mtime/mode clamp is now installed only for Debian/Ubuntu packaging, matching the scope covered by the provided reproducibility logs.
Retain umask 022 in the RPM/openSUSE wrappers so staged package permissions do not depend on a restrictive caller umask.
* Harden reproducible build cleanup
Validate SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH before interpolating it into Make, CMake or shell packaging paths.
Refuse live DESTDIR values in the CPack mtime clamp and pass makeself options through normal argv construction instead of eval.

Replace the Linux ntfs3 help icon paint lambda with a small wxWindow
subclass and regular paint event handler.
GCC 4.4, used on CentOS 6, builds with -std=c++0x but does not support
the lambda syntax used in PreferencesDialog.cpp, causing compilation to
fail at the ntfs3 help icon handler.
The drawing behavior is unchanged.
Keep the executable requirement at CMake 2.8.12 for legacy CentOS 6 package builders while using the version-range syntax to declare policy compatibility up to 3.10. Newer CMake versions use the policy maximum to avoid CMake 4 failures, and older CMake versions ignore the suffix and continue to configure as before.
Enable use_ino for Linux FUSE mounts so stable inode numbers returned by getattr and readdir are reported to userspace. For FUSE3, set fuse_config.use_ino from init; for FUSE2, pass -o use_ino because there is no fuse_config init hook.
Also map otherwise unhandled FUSE exceptions to EIO instead of EINTR, since these failures are not signal interruptions and should not encourage retry loops.
Prefer hdiutil plist entities that carry a mount-point when recording the virtual device. This fixes APFS images where the first dev-entry is not the mounted volume.
Add a macOS mounted-volume refresh hook that recovers VirtualDevice and MountPoint from hdiutil info when FUSE-T SMB auxiliary metadata is missing or stale.
APFS volume creation can still fail with Permission denied after preparing the raw and block device aliases because newfs_apfs performs privileged APFS container and volume operations beyond opening the device nodes.
Route APFS formatting through the elevated CoreService path for non-root macOS runs. Keep the elevated interface narrow by sending only the target device and invoking user UID/GID, validate the device path on the privileged side, rebuild the formatter arguments there, and execute /sbin/newfs_apfs by absolute path to avoid PATH shadowing.
Pass -U/-G so the created filesystem preserves the invoking user ownership. Apply the same path to GUI and text-mode creation.
When creating an APFS filesystem inside a newly created device-hosted volume, VeraCrypt prepared only the raw hdiutil device path before invoking newfs_apfs. On macOS, newfs_apfs may resolve or reopen the corresponding block device path, which can fail with Permission denied for non-root GUI runs.
Prepare both raw and block aliases for the temporary formatter device, restore changed owners afterward, and share the helper between GUI and text-mode volume creation. Restore each changed alias independently so one restore failure does not skip the rest.
Add a -t option to build_veracrypt_macosx.sh so VC_OSX_TARGET can be set explicitly while preserving the existing defaults for source and Homebrew builds.
Fixes#1726.
Keep device selection enumeration unchanged to avoid slow dialog loads.
In the format wizard, inspect only the selected target with diskutil info -plist and reject APFS synthesized devices, macOS system/support targets, read-only targets, and current APFS system stores. Add a read-only APFS hint for creation failures.
Remove the duplicate Shell_NotifyIconW(NIM_MODIFY) call from the tray balloon helper. On Windows 11, the shell can queue the repeated NIF_INFO request and show the same unmount notification twice.
Fixes#1630
Reject empty or truncated TLV buffers, unsupported indefinite lengths, and declared value lengths that exceed the remaining input or uint16 node storage. Parse BER long-form lengths in big-endian order before copying value bytes.
Report explicit progress stages while writing volume data, writing backup headers, and flushing data to disk so the wizard does not appear stuck at 100%.
Keep the wizard in progress during Unix post-creation formatting and show status for temporary mount/device setup, mkfs invocation, and dismount.
When normal filesystem unmount fails, the Linux path could stop before cleaning VeraCrypt mapper, loop and FUSE objects. Add an explicit emergency dismount request that is only reached after interactive confirmation.
The recovery path lazy-detaches mounted filesystems, uses deferred dmsetup removal for VeraCrypt mapper devices, detaches loop devices, and keeps normal force/ignoreOpenFiles behavior unchanged.
Validate SecRegion password cache offsets before use.
Wipe decrypted SecRegion password-cache data even when cache validation fails.
Clamp encrypted I/O work item counts and check allocation sizing.
Reject invalid boot drive sector writes and initialize decoy wipe data unit.
Validate hidden-system boot offsets and remap arithmetic before use.
Verify restored EFI Microsoft and fallback boot loader paths after system decryption.
Show clearer recovery guidance when EFI file restoration or NVRAM cleanup remains incomplete.
Add a GPT-only EFI boot loader repair menu action for already decrypted systems.
The read loop that captures stderr from the sudo child process used
`vector<char> buffer(4096); buffer.clear();` followed by
`read(fd, &buffer[0], buffer.capacity())`. This has two instances of
undefined behavior:
1. `operator[](0)` on a vector with `size() == 0` violates the C++
standard precondition `n < size()`. libstdc++ built with
`-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS` aborts the process with:
stl_vector.h:1128: Assertion '__n < this->size()' failed.
2. `buffer.begin() + bytesRead` on the same empty vector constructs
an iterator past `end()`, also UB.
`-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS` is in the default build flags of Arch Linux,
Fedora, and several other distributions. On those systems, the
unprivileged helper process aborts as soon as sudo writes anything
to stderr (a password prompt, a 'user is not in the sudoers file'
error, etc.). The main process then sees EOF on the service output
pipe, and throws `InsufficientData`, which renders to the user as
'Not enough data available'. A second mount attempt fails at
`File::Write` because the helper is dead and the pipe is broken,
producing the bare message 'VeraCrypt::File::Write:395'.
Fix by replacing `buffer` with a plain `char[4096]` and using
`reserve(4096)` on `errOutput` to preserve the original
pre-allocation intent. No behavioral change on systems where the UB
happened to work; aborts are eliminated on systems where the
assertions fire.

Make /aux-device-info readable for SMB, verify that FUSE records hdiutil device info after mount and recover missing virtual devices from hdiutil before dismounting auxiliary mounts.
Add statfs metadata for the auxiliary FUSE mount, keep /control read-only by sending hdiutil device data through /aux-device-info and tolerate delayed SMB rediscovery during mount completion. Log final control-file retry failures for diagnostics.
Use the same SystemFavorites service flag mapping for /PostOOBE bootloader repair as the non-forced service update path. This prevents Windows upgrade repair from adding VeraCrypt to BootOrder or forcing it first when those actions are disabled, while forced updates keep their previous behavior and still repair the loader.
Copy selected favorite volumes into mount thread parameters so background mounting does not depend on mutable global vector storage. Also avoid unnecessary FavoriteVolume copies in auto-mount paths and fix mount-on-arrival state updates.

wxWidgets does not propagate mouse motion events from child controls to parent windows. The Linux/macOS GUI was binding the random-pool mouse handlers only to the dialog/page and its direct children, which left nested controls such as static-box contents and the wizard image as dead zones.
Add a reusable recursive child-window event binder and use it in the keyfile generator, random pool enrichment dialog, and volume creation wizard. The root windows keep their existing generated bindings, while descendants are bound explicitly, avoiding duplicate handling on the root while covering all nested controls.
This makes the entropy gauge and the random pool update consistently no matter where the pointer moves inside the affected windows.
Fixes#1656.
Local macOS builds disable universal binaries. On Apple Silicon, that means
the regular objects are built for arm64 only, but Volume.make still selected
the macOS assembly bundle. Several of those assembly outputs are x86_64 only,
which makes ranlib reject Volume.a because it contains mixed cputypes.
Make local arm64 macOS builds use the existing arm64 crypto object path and
have the macOS build wrapper export CPU_ARCH/COMPILE_ASM consistently for
local builds.
wxWidgets 3.3 removed the configure switches for explicitly enabling
Unicode and std_string support. Passing these options now makes configure
fail with "unrecognized options" when option checking is enabled.
Keep the legacy switches for older wxWidgets releases, but only add them
from the wxbuild recipe when the target configure script still supports the
corresponding Autoconf option variables.

Make MSI-installed VeraCrypt use the IDRIX-signed COMReg package as the
source for traveler files, matching the EXE installer flow. COMReg now
packages the x64 traveler payload, so traveler creation no longer has to
copy the installed x64 driver from appDir\veracrypt.sys and verify it
against a Microsoft WHQL certificate fingerprint.
Keep Microsoft WHQL certificate verification only for the loose portable
driver fallback, where driver files cannot be signed with the IDRIX code
signing certificate. The normal VerifyModuleSignature path now remains
IDRIX-only.
Also validate that an MSI COMReg package actually contains the required
x64 traveler files before reporting success, avoiding partial traveler
directories when the package payload is incomplete.
