Subject: [PATCH 1/4] chardev: Fix QIOChannel refcount
Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 19:20:11 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250515222014.4161-2-farosas@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250515222014.4161-1-farosas@suse.de>

The IOWatchPoll holds a reference to the iochannel while the "child"
source (iwp->src) is removed from the context and freed. Freeing the
source leads to the iochannel being also freed at
qio_channel_fd_source_finalize().

Later, io_watch_poll_prepare() tries to create another source with the
same iochannel and hits an use after free:

==8241==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free on address 0x514000000040

    ...

Fix the issue by incrementing the iochannel reference count when the
IOWatchPoll takes a reference and decrementing when it is finalized.
