Kleopatra: Segfault on start/import
Open, HighPublic
Actions

Description

To reproduce:

  1. Delete the gnupg home dir (at least I always tested in a clean state)
  2. Import the usual testcerts (one combined import operation): all-pgp, all-smime, sec pgp/smime certs of ted/edward, root cert => Kleopatra often (not always) crashes after trusting the root cert
    • debugview: kleopatra.exe <process started at 09:07:46.672 has terminated with 0xc0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION)>

Findings:

  • No problem on gpg4win 5.0.1 (tested 5 times)
  • The choice of imported certs does not seem to matter (happened with different and distinct subgroups of the certs listed above), more the amount of certs (probably timing)
  • Probable some race condition involved, as Kleopatra often segfaults already on start (not import) via gdb
  • It looks like it has to do with the filewatcher (@svuorela had a look at the gdb crash output)
  • pinentry debugview:
    • Loading the "qt_" catalog failed for locale QLocale(German, Latin, Germany) (another issue?)
  • kleopatra procmon:
    • shortly after the crash, keyboxd unlocked pubring.db, might be coincidence or a hint
    • some broken "reg create" on some filepath (many times):

      RegCreateKey HKLM\SOFTWARE\Gpg4Win\C:/Program Files/Gpg4win/share/color-schemes/BreezeLight.colors ACCESS DENIED Desired Access: Read
    • the breeze icons seem to be read quite often (no idea, if this is normal)
    • right before and after the crash (some process was still continuing a bit), lots of C:\Windows\Fonts files were read (also not sure if that's expected, but I haven't seen this yet)
