Winobj.exe May Permit You to View Securable Objects Created or Opened by the Jet500.dll File (243404)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q243404 SYMPTOMS
The following securable (event/semaphore/mutex) objects may exist on the system name space:
- \BaseNamedObjects\Proc Count:* (semaphore)
- \BaseNamedObjects\Collect:* (semaphore)
- \BaseNamedObjects\New Proc:* (mutex)
- \BaseNamedObjects\Access:* (mutex)
- \BaseNamedObjects\Done:* (event)
If these objects exist, they may be viewed by using Microsoft Object Viewer (Winobj.exe). In Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a and earlier, these objects have NULL Access Control Lists (ACL), meaning that everyone has all access to these objects.
CAUSE
These objects are created and opened by Jet500.dll (the JET Engine .dll file) for synchronization purposes among instances of itself when they are loaded in different processes. Microsoft WINS and DHCP services use Jet500.dll.
The Jet500.dll file described in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base creates the aforementioned events, semaphores, and mutexs with an Access Control Element (ACE) for administrators:

Specifically, only administrators (DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ADMINS) are given GENERIC_ALL access. Others do not have WRITE_DAC or WRITE_OWNER access.
