[Bug #20921]
When we create a cache entry for a constant, the following sequence of
events could happen:
- vm_track_constant_cache is called to insert a constant cache.
- In vm_track_constant_cache, we first look up the ST table for the ID
of the constant. Assume the ST table exists because another iseq also
holds a cache entry for this ID.
- We then insert into this ST table with the iseq_inline_constant_cache.
- However, while inserting into this ST table, it allocates memory, which
could trigger a GC. Assume that it does trigger a GC.
- The GC frees the one and only other iseq that holds a cache entry for
this ID.
- In remove_from_constant_cache, it will appear that the ST table is now
empty because there are no more iseq with cache entries for this ID, so
we free the ST table.
- We complete GC and continue our st_insert. However, this ST table has
been freed so we now have a use-after-free.
This issue is very hard to reproduce, because it requires that the GC runs
at a very specific time. However, we can make it show up by applying this
patch which runs GC right before the st_insert to mimic the st_insert
triggering a GC:
diff --git a/vm_insnhelper.c b/vm_insnhelper.c
index 3cb23f0..a93998136a 100644
--- a/vm_insnhelper.c
+++ b/vm_insnhelper.c
@@ -6338,6 +6338,10 @@ vm_track_constant_cache(ID id, void *ic)
rb_id_table_insert(const_cache, id, (VALUE)ics);
}
+ if (id == rb_intern("MyConstant")) rb_gc();
+
st_insert(ics, (st_data_t) ic, (st_data_t) Qtrue);
}
And if we run this script:
Object.const_set("MyConstant", "Hello!")
my_proc = eval("-> { MyConstant }")
my_proc.call
my_proc = eval("-> { MyConstant }")
my_proc.call
We can see that ASAN outputs a use-after-free error:

This commit fixes this bug by adding a inserting_constant_cache_id field
to the VM, which stores the ID that is currently being inserted and, in
remove_from_constant_cache, we don't free the ST table for ID equal to
this one.
