From dbeac4c6bf44dbed225c7086e5ed442f6b7013b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2026 01:43:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(socket): add atomic check-and-set for PreKey cleanedUp flag (V8) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit PROBLEM: The 'cleanedUp' flag in PreKey auto-sync had a TOCTOU race condition similar to V7. The flag was checked without atomic protection, leading to: 1. Timer orphaning: syncLoop could create new timer after cleanup cleared it 2. Use-after-free: syncLoop could access destroyed resources after cleanup Race scenario 1 (Timer orphaning - memory leak): T1: syncLoop finally → line 790: if (!cleanedUp) ✓ (false) T2: cleanup() → line 817: cleanedUp = true T2: cleanup() → line 820: clearTimeout(syncTimer) T1: syncLoop finally → line 791: setTimeout(...) ← Orphan timer! Result: Timer continues running after cleanup → memory leak Race scenario 2 (Use-after-free): T1: syncLoop → line 771: if (!cleanedUp) ✓ (false) T2: cleanup() → line 817: cleanedUp = true T2: end() → destroys resources (ws, keys) T1: syncLoop → uploadPreKeysToServerIfRequired() → UAF crash SOLUTION: Applied atomic check-and-set pattern by adding reentrancy guard and setting flag IMMEDIATELY after check, BEFORE any operations: 1. Added if (cleanedUp) return check at start of cleanup function 2. Set cleanedUp=true right after check (minimizes race window) 3. Added comprehensive documentation explaining thread safety 4. Documented safe usage patterns in syncLoop entry and reschedule checks This follows the same defense-in-depth approach as V7 (socket.closed flag), ensuring consistent protection across the socket lifecycle.
