Bug 73582 – InspectorController destruction order leads to use-after-free

• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Adam Klein]

After http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/101345, I'm seeing consistent Valgrind errors on the bots:

http://build.chromium.org/p/chromium.webkit/builders/Linux%20Valgrind/builds/17144/steps/memory%20test%3A%20test_shell/logs/stdio

Here's the top of the stack trace:

The issue is that the InspectorDOMAgent passed to the InspectorCSSAgent is at an earlier index in the Vector<OwnPtr> than the CSSAgent, so it's deleted by the time ~InspectorCSSAgent tries to call setDOMListener(0).

The same error exists for InspectorDebuggerAgent (it's also passed a handle to the InspectorDOMAgent, and tries to call setListener(0)).

Easiest fix would be to change the order of the vector, putting the InspectorDOMAgent at the end; seems a bit fragile, though.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll handle it.
