Heap-use-after-free in remote_object_finalize Description of problem: While I was working with `QIOChannel` in my downstream QEMU fork, I looked at `hw/remote/remote-obj.c` as a usage example. I did the same thing to `remote_object_finalize` function in order to free the QIOChannel when the connection closed: ```c if (o->ioc) { qio_channel_shutdown(o->ioc, QIO_CHANNEL_SHUTDOWN_BOTH, NULL); qio_channel_close(o->ioc, NULL); } object_unref(OBJECT(o->ioc)); ``` After the connection is closed for a while, my program SIGSEGV: ``` Thread 2 Crashed: 0 qemu-system-aarch64 0x000000010164513c qemu_coroutine_get_aio_context + 12 (qemu-coroutine.c:203) 1 qemu-system-aarch64 0x000000010145ad82 qio_channel_restart_read + 50 2 qemu-system-aarch64 0x0000000101614c8a aio_dispatch_handler + 378 (aio-posix.c:332) 3 qemu-system-aarch64 0x0000000101613fad aio_dispatch_handlers + 125 (aio-posix.c:372) 4 qemu-system-aarch64 0x0000000101613ef3 aio_dispatch + 51 (aio-posix.c:383) 5 qemu-system-aarch64 0x0000000101631e18 aio_ctx_dispatch + 104 (async.c:307) 6 libglib-2.0.0.dylib 0x000000010284b90c g_main_context_dispatch + 364 7 qemu-system-aarch64 0x0000000101644728 glib_pollfds_poll + 88 (main-loop.c:233) 8 qemu-system-aarch64 0x0000000101644170 os_host_main_loop_wait + 128 (main-loop.c:256) 9 qemu-system-aarch64 0x000000010164403c main_loop_wait + 188 (main-loop.c:530) 10 qemu-system-aarch64 0x00000001012f3014 qemu_main_loop + 36 (runstate.c:721) 11 qemu-system-aarch64 0x0000000100c25e38 qemu_main + 40 (main.c:51) 12 qemu-system-aarch64 0x0000000100c7b1f4 call_qemu_main + 52 (cocoa.m:1746) 13 qemu-system-aarch64 0x000000010161a459 qemu_thread_start + 185 (qemu-thread-posix.c:521) 14 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00007fff6a6e2109 _pthread_start + 148 15 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00007fff6a6ddb8b thread_start + 15 ``` So apparently, there is a dangling pointer of the QIOChannel in AIOContext. And indeed, that caused by the fact that when the fd read/write is blocked, it sets the fd handlers to the AIO context before yielding the coroutine (https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/io/channel.c#L544). So after the fd is closed, the AIO still dispatches the fd readable event when the main loop dispatches again, using the dangling QIOChannel pointer (When the fd is reused I think). I suggest adding a `qio_channel_detach_aio_context()` call before the channel is shutdown in `remote-obj.c`, or before the fd is closed in `qio_channel_close()` in `io/channel.c` ```c if (o->ioc) { qio_channel_detach_aio_context(o->ioc); qio_channel_shutdown(o->ioc, QIO_CHANNEL_SHUTDOWN_BOTH, NULL); qio_channel_close(o->ioc, NULL); } object_unref(OBJECT(o->ioc)); ``` This bug might have slipped through the cracks because `mpqemu_remote_msg_loop_co` issues a shutdown request immediately after an I/O error occured on the QIOChannel.
