From 1344e1ba570d3fd8839aa1ce224b132dbc350aa2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremiah Gowdy Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2025 07:02:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/19] fix: resolve race condition in reference counting logging The Close() method had a race condition between decrementing the reference count and reading it for logging. This could cause incorrect values to be logged when the reference count changed between the Add(-1) and Load() operations. Fixed by capturing the result of Add(-1) and using it directly, eliminating the race window. Note: This fix only addresses the logging race. The use-after-free concern is already prevented by the cache implementation which removes entries from its map before calling Close(), ensuring no new references can be obtained once eviction begins. --- go/appencryption/key_cache.go | 13 +++- go/appencryption/key_cache_race_test.go | 95 +++++++++++++++++++++++ go/appencryption/key_cache_safety_test.go | 85 ++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 191 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 go/appencryption/key_cache_race_test.go create mode 100644 go/appencryption/key_cache_safety_test.go diff --git a/go/appencryption/key_cache.go b/go/appencryption/key_cache.go index c02ec308c..78ea37b68 100644 --- a/go/appencryption/key_cache.go +++ b/go/appencryption/key_cache.go @@ -13,6 +13,13 @@ import ( ) // cachedCryptoKey is a wrapper around a CryptoKey that tracks concurrent access. +// +// Reference counting ensures proper cleanup: +// - Starts with ref count = 1 (owned by cache) +// - Incremented when retrieved via GetOrLoad +// - Decremented when caller calls Close() +// - When cache evicts, it removes from map THEN calls Close() +// - This prevents use-after-free since no new refs can be obtained type cachedCryptoKey struct { *internal.CryptoKey @@ -37,11 +44,13 @@ func newCachedCryptoKey(k *internal.CryptoKey) *cachedCryptoKey { // Close decrements the reference count for this key.

-0700 Subject: [PATCH 15/19] Fix unit test failures by ensuring proper test isolation The session cache tests were failing due to shared state in the global session cleanup processor across test runs. Tests were interfering with each other when run together, causing timing-dependent failures. This fix ensures each test gets a fresh processor by calling resetGlobalSessionCleanupProcessor() before and after each test that uses the session cache cleanup functionality.
