Shim Cache Analysis Errors - input is out of range

[pdutton-vc]

Shim cache analysis of data from a subset of Windows 11 boxes fails with an "input is out of range" error. These boxes have been running a while, and have a few programs installed on them, but I was unable to narrow it down to a specific install. I have not seen this on other Windows flavors, but that may just be me.

The same error is seen when chainsaw is run from on the machine being analyzed, or when from a linux box. The same behavior is seen with or without --tspair. The tests were performed using the sample patterns from https://github.com/WithSecureLabs/chainsaw/blob/master/analysis/shimcache_patterns.txt. The tests were with latest 2.9.2 builds.

Example Run:

./chainsaw --version
chainsaw 2.9.2

./chainsaw analyse shimcache -r shimcache_patterns.txt -a ./amcache.hve ./system.hve

I linked the wrong issue but this is now fixed by c4d9450 which will be covered in v2.9.3
