Crash due to undefined behavior in libnetguard.so #430

Open ShellCode33 opened 1 month ago

Hi! First and foremost, thanks a lot for your amazing app.

I use the latest F-Droid version of TrackerControl 2024.01.03-fdroid on GrapheneOS with a Pixel phone which supports memory tagging (MTE).

Describe the bug

As soon as I start TrackerControl with MTE enabled, the app crashes (the kernel sends a SEGV signal to the app).

Here's the stacktrace:

type: crash
osVersion: google/shiba/shiba:14/AP2A.240905.003/2024092900:user/release-keys
uid: 10187 (u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c187,c256,c512,c768)

signal: 11 (SIGSEGV), code 9 (SEGV_MTESERR), faultAddr 300cd3a1dd95070
threadName: Thread-7
MTE: enabled

    /apex/com.android.runtime/lib64/bionic/libc.so (__start_thread+68, pc 6a064)

The crash happens in the handle_events function in libnetguard.so.

I'm sorry for not being able to provide a more detailed stack trace, it would require me to rebuild TrackerControl with debug symbols, which I don't have the time for right now.

I don't know if it is the reason for this crash but it seems to me there's a clear use-after-free bug here:

https://github.com/TrackerControl/tracker-control-android/blob/acba328758a25c285a56451dcc6641e4b0545bcd/app/src/main/jni/netguard/session.c#L278-L281

To Reproduce

I don't know if the Android emulator supports MTE, but even if it does not, you should probably be able to catch this bug using the address sanitizer from the NDK

@thestinger might have some hints on how to debug this properly when you don't have a MTE capable phone available.
