Bug 311493 – Crash due to nullptr deref in WebCore::SQLiteIDBBackingStore::openCursor() via infoForObjectStore()

• Component: Website Storage
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

`WebCore::SQLiteIDBBackingStore::openCursor()` crashes due to a
nullptr dereference when `infoForObjectStore()` returns nullptr
because `m_databaseInfo->m_objectStoreMap` is empty.

The function calls `infoForObjectStore()`, which can return nullptr
when the object store identifier is not found in the HashMap.  The
return value is guarded only by `ASSERT(objectStoreInfo)` -- a no-op
in release builds -- and then unconditionally dereferenced via
`objectStoreInfo->keyPath()`.

The unconditional dereference is undefined behavior (UB) with
nullptr.  The compiler backward-propagates from the UB to
eliminate all nullptr checks in the entire inlined
`HashMap::find()` chain, including the internal
`if (!m_table)` check in `HashTable::inlineLookup()`.  This causes
the crash to manifest as a read from address 0xfffffffffffffff8 (null
minus 8 bytes) inside `tableSizeMask()`.

The same pattern (Debug ASSERT without a nullptr check) also
exists in `getIndexRecord()`, `uncheckedGetIndexRecordForOneKey()`,
and `iterateCursor()`.  Four other call sites in the same file
(`getRecord()`, `getAllObjectStoreRecords()`, `getAllIndexRecords()`,
`addIndex()`) already properly check for nullptr.
