838169 - WebRTC use-after-free crash [@mozilla::NrIceCtx::Release]

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: WebRTC: Networking, defect, P1)

Description

[Christoph Diehl [:posidron]]

Attachment: callstack

This happened while fuzzing the JSEP and might relate to bug 835835.

alloc: nricectx.cpp

 RefPtr<NrIceCtx> ctx = new NrIceCtx(name, offerer);


free: nricectx.h:189

  NS_INLINE_DECL_THREADSAFE_REFCOUNTING(NrIceCtx)

stun_client_ctx.c:658 
[..]
        /* Fire the callback */
        if (ctx->finished_cb) {
            NR_async_cb finished_cb = ctx->finished_cb;
            ctx->finished_cb = 0;  /* prevent 2nd call */
            /* finished_cb call must be absolutely last thing in function
             * because as a side effect this ctx may be operated on in the
             * callback */
            finished_cb(0,0,ctx->cb_arg);
[..]

re-use: nricectx.h:189

Tested with m-i changeset: 120856:66efdc5f9355 -O1

Something is seriously wrong with this callstack.

The relevant line of C code where this is allegedly called is:

            finished_cb(0,0,ctx->cb_arg);

And this comes from ctx->finished_cb.

In any case, this is C code, so it's pretty implausible that it's calling C++ member
functions from NrIceCtx.

Can you get this in the debugger?

[Christoph Diehl [:posidron]]

ekr, please run the testcase in bug 837324 with an ASan -O1 build.

Comment 3

[Eric Rescorla (:ekr)]

I ran it with an ASan and --disable-optimize and no joy.

Please provide the set of ASan flags you want me to use.

Comment 4

[Christoph Diehl [:posidron]]

As said with -O1 ;)

ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O1 -g"

cdiehl:

Can you test with the above patch? It removes the crash on my system with the above repro case.

Comment 8

[Christoph Diehl [:posidron]]

Looks fixed, can't reproduce it anymore.

Adam,

There are a number of changes here, some defects, some not:

1. Make sure that PCImpl::mSTSThread is set even if PCMedia::Init fails.
2. Have nr_stun_client_ctx_destroy() zero the pointer it was asked to destroy so that you can call it twice in a row safely (this now can happen).
3. Have nr_ice_candidate_destroy() call nr_stun_client_ctx_destroy)
4. Remove weird refcting hacks in NrIceCtx because they aren't needed with change #3.

Fix FMR and multiple release in NrIceCtx

This looks okay to me, modulo the callback issue we discussed on IRC. I'm leaving it as 'r?' pending the resolution of that issue (detailed below).

Now that we're not using a reference increment to keep the NrIceCtx alive, I think we can run into situations where the underlying nr_ice_ctx still has callbacks pending on it after we've been destroyed. I think we need nr_ice_ctx_destroy to zero out its callback pointer (and check for zero when invoking it) so that any event that happens between nr_ice_ctx_destroy and nr_ice_ctx_destroy_cb doesn't try to call into (the now destroyed) NrIceCtx.

Is there (expected to be) any consistency with how the nICEr dtors handle the passed-in pointer WRT whether it gets zeroed out? It seems to be somewhat arbitrary at the moment.

Do these callbacks run on the same thread that would zero out the callback pointer (in ns_ice_ctx_destroy()?

If so, please add asserts for that.  If not, then locking will be needed.

Of course.

Not really practical, since this is all in nICEr and it has no real notion
of threads.
