Kleopatra: Crash when doing a lookup on server
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Kleopatra crashes (segfaults) when doing a lookup on server and a certain number of results are found.

How to reproduce:

  • Use the default key server (hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com)
  • Open Lookup on Server
  • Enter example
  • Press Return or click Search

-> boom

Backtrace:

(gdb) print key
$1 = <error reading variable: Cannot access memory at address 0x9>

The result of print key varies, e.g. I also got

$1 = std::shared_ptr<_gpgme_key> (use count -238808599, weak count 32766) = {get() = 0x4009}

ebo reproduced the crash on Windows.

The crash occurs in a call of std::sort() that was introduced for T7067: Kleopatra: Add origin information in search results. I suggest to revert the changes made for T7067 for VSD 3.3. For T7153: Kleopatra: Show all search results (from different origins) we will anyway have to rewrite the result view because the standard certificate list doesn't support multiple keys with the same fingerprint.

Event Timeline

I'm wondering whether we are hit by undefined behavior. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/sort mentions some conditions that must be met for (un)defined behavior. Or it's a bug in gcc or gcc's STL. I added some debug logs to the comparison lambda. The first comparisons look fine but after a certain number of comparisons it crashes in the debug logging (when it tries to access the primary fingerprint).

Sorting Keys doesn't seem to be a problem. We do it in KeyCache since ages. I have no idea why the simple struct should cause problems unless std::sort uses incorrect default move-operations.
