CSFLE: Crash on exit when mongo_csfle_v1_lib instance still alive

XMLWordPrintableJSON

    • Type: Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Priority: Icon: Critical - P2 Critical - P2
    • 6.0.0-rc0
    • Affects Version/s: 5.3.0-rc4
    • Component/s: Field Level Encryption
    • Environment:
      Linux (ubuntu2004 and rhel80), possibly others. Affects at least 5.3.0-rc4 and mongo_csfle_v1-6.0.0-alpha-763-g89c2fbc (current master).
    • Fully Compatible
    • ALL
    • v5.3
    • Hide

      The following steps will (at least on Linux) lead to a crash:

      • Load mongo_csfle_v1.so
      • Call mongo_csfle_v1_lib_create()
      • Call exit() (or return from main()).

      Small repro program (with attached valgrind output): https://gist.github.com/addaleax/993e80036cf54231f7d65a037e818de6

      The CSFLE shared library runs into the flipside of the static initialization order fiasco when it is active (i.e. a mongo_csfle_v1_lib exists) while the process shuts down.

      In particular, this line:

      https://github.com/10gen/mongo-enterprise-modules/blob/abe14843df06c8deb4d2ee0e9efade9bbec704ef/src/fle/lib/mongo_csfle.cpp#L293

      leads to a call to mongo::runGlobalDeinitializers(), which fails because the global singleton ConstructorActionList has already been destroyed, and consequently to memory corruption which crashes the process with SIGABRT/SIGSEGV.
