[OSX] Sometimes malloc is replaced but free is not #70

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 70

Firefox with asan works just fine on Linux, but on OS X it crashes when starting up
with

It looks like asan managed to replace a call to malloc but failed to replace a call
to free.

Rafael,

on OS X several heap allocators may co-exist in the same process, and chances are that
some memory chunk has been allocated by one of them (e.g. our malloc()) and then mistakingly
passed to another one that we don't intercept (we do intercept the default malloc zone
and the default CFAllocator).

I'd love to reproduce this -- is there an instruction how to build Firefox on OS X
with ASan?

ramosian-glider · 2015-08-31T15:33:26Z

Hey :)

I can provide you both with a build manual and with 64 bit OSX debug builds that reproduce
the failure.

A current build that should reproduce the error is here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/decoder@own-hero.net-98a3e6c73a4a/try-macosx64-debug/firefox-15.0a1.en-US.mac64.dmg

A general manual how to build Firefox with ASAN is here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Building_Firefox_with_Address_Sanitizer

If you need any further information, feel free to contact me or Rafael. You can also
find us on irc.mozilla.org #security :)

Chris

I've managed to build the nightly Firefox with -faddress-sanitizer and -O1, but it is
nearly unusable. Is there a web page I can navigate to to reproduce this report?
I'll also try your prebuilt .dmg, maybe it's a bit better

ramosian-glider · 2015-08-31T15:33:43Z

Regarding your first comment: How are you running Firefox when you built it? If you
run it from objdir/dist/bin/firefox, then it will not crash but the GUI events will
not work (this problem is not related to Firefox).

There should be a objdir/dist/NightlyDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox or objdir/dist/NightlyDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
try starting it from there.

The .dmg will also reproduce this 100% of the time since there is no way to start it
like you probably did it with your own build.

The crash happens on startup.

ramosian-glider · 2015-08-31T15:33:52Z

Yes objdir/dist/NightlyDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox works for me, thanks!
But neither my build nor the nightly one crashed with the error message.
Is it OS X 10.7 you're running? (I've only tried it on 10.6 so far)

ramosian-glider · 2015-08-31T15:34:00Z

I think all the people that tried this have 10.7. Might be specific to that.

Reported by decoder.oh on 2012-05-05 11:55:43

ramosian-glider · 2015-08-31T15:34:09Z

Yes, this was on 10.7

@Ramosian: Did you manage to reproduce the problem or do you need more information from
our side? Thanks!

Yes, I was able to reproduce it, but got distracted by other Mac stuff on 10.6. Sorry
for that.
I'm planning to get back to it next week, but not quite sure.

ramosian-glider · 2015-08-31T15:34:35Z

That would be great since this is a huge blocker for us. Running Firefox on OSX is with
ASan is practically impossible because of this issue and I'm sure others will run into
this as well.

(I've hacked the runtime a bit: __asan_osx_free is a replacement for free() that looks
up the malloc zone for the pointer and prints it if the zone is NULL)

CoreFoundation is trying to an off-by-8 pointer. Mark suggests there's some interaction
between the default malloc and CFURL

As usually, we can cause this program to fail even without ASan:

=============================t.mm========

$ cat t.mm
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main() {
#ifdef REPLACE
  CFAllocatorSetDefault(kCFAllocatorMallocZone);
#endif
  NSURL *base = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"file://localhost/Users/glider/Library/"];
  NSURL *u = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"Saved Application State" relativeToURL:base];
  return 0;
}
====================================

$ clang++ t.mm -o t -DREPLACE -framework Foundation -g && ./t
t(47457) malloc: *** error for object 0x10ba14348: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6

This bug is reproducible on 10.6 as well (as opposed to the original Firefox problem,
I think)

Does that mean it's a bug in Firefox? If so, how would we fix that? (not being a Mac
expert).

I bet this is yet another bug in CFAllocator, which just does not manifest in Firefox
on 10.6.
Until I find out what we can do about it you can try ASAN_OPTIONS=replace_cfallocator=0.
I've just tried it and got much farther (in fact the browser hadn't crashed yet)

Thanks! I'll try that out tomorrow, that would be a great help already.

Reported by decoder.oh on 2012-06-19 19:13:04

ramosian-glider · 2015-08-31T15:35:37Z

I believe the bug has been fixed by Clang r158863, at least it doesn't manifest on Firefox
and Chrome.
You shouldn't need to set replace_cfallocator=0 anymore.
Please reopen if the bug is still reproducible for you.

ramosian-glider · 2015-08-31T15:35:45Z

Christian,

did you have chance to try out the fix?

For the record, I've filed rdar://11748863 (http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=1796404)
to track the CFAllocatorSetDefault bug.

Sorry, I forgot to reply here :) A coworker of mine tried a build with the new Clang
revision and confirmed the fix. Once we upgraded our toolchain, we'll be handing out
Mac OSX builds for Firefox+ASan then :)

Thanks again!

The memory from _CFRuntimeCreateInstance() turns out to be freed via cf_free() as well
as free(). I'm going to fix this as well.
