tomscott.com - / tomscott - In the news today: a link which, when moused over or clicked on, crashes Google Chrome. It's a heck of a bug: but how does it work, and what does it have to do with "null-terminated strings"?

@janekmuric
@janekmuric 8 лет назад
Not really. Not handling exceptions can't cause data corruption unless it's a low level function (for example memory managment in C). And even if it bugs out at any low level the only data you lose is in RAM (or any *single* file your process has opened), which isn't that bad since most new programs (MS Office, some Chrome extensions) save multiple copies of the file (two in temporary dir, and one at real location) and auto-save every few minutes. And don't get me even started on that "_both you computer *and the server*_" nonsense. Nothing would happen to the server.

@@TD-yx8yo be it DNA or be it RNA, they're all codes that program our bodies. If I remember right, when I was in highschool learning about basics of coding, the code that we wrote in C++ is somekind of raw code, we must let computers translate that code into another code before running it. It's similar to DNA being the raw code and mRNA being the translated code, it's rules of this world anyway, like how math exists in every form on earth. the earth codings is much more complicated than human's codings tho.

This is absolutely fantastic. Not only does it explain a rather subtle bug very well, it also does an incredible job at introducing pointers, memory representation and string termination. While these concepts seem simple once accustomed to them, they are rather tricky to explain to someone with no prior experience. Seriously, thanks a lot for this video! I will probably refer to it quite often in the future, taking 5 minutes to have someone watch it whenever I have to explain this stuff!

@TrabberShir
@TrabberShir 9 лет назад
+Tom Scott To be fair, the mess you keep referring to from comment 14 isn't a mess because it is hard to fix, but because every possible fix seems to break standards compliance and violate expected behavior in some way. The mess isn't the effort in fixing but the effort in deciding which fix is appropriate. Luckily comment 36 clarified exactly how the standards say it should be handled and sadly it was determined in subsequent comments that making chrome standards compliant in that respect would untenable due to some assumptions in the design of "the extra validation we do on receiving URLs over IPC" so they were back to deciding which way of breaking URL handling is preferable to fix the crash. Honestly the code wasn't too bad, there was a one day turn around between deciding on what to change and merging the change into beta.

Hey Tom, as the guy who fixed this bug in Chromium -- I'm not really sure why you spent so much time (or, really, any time at all) on null-terminated strings. It implies that the crash has something to do with misinterpreting an embedded null, which, as you said near the end of the video, isn't true. The crash has nothing to do with null-terminated strings. Really the problem is simply that canonicalization wasn't idempotent when it was supposed to be. This could cause problems regardless of what value is ultimately encoded by the doubly-escaped string and there are a variety of places in which different bugs appeared as a result. It was too bad that right as you got to the point where I thought you'd explain one of these in more detail, the video ended :(

The real question is - why does Chrome for God's sake decode the URL twice?
@jessehall8168
@jessehall8168 5 лет назад
Probably a function that starts with a check for encoding, decodes it, then starts all over again with decoded string.
@Stratelier
@Stratelier 5 лет назад
Wasn't it already explained? Intuitively, the URL should only be ever be decoded once, but when you have multiple functions calling each other and each one has the potential to accept raw (undecoded) text strings, suddenly every function is doing its own decoding and this string in question essentially suffers recursively iterated decoding (I recognized the problem the moment I identified %30 is the code for a numeric zero).

@@Stratelier Sure, but that's just bad design. You should have a clear boundary between encoded and unencoded URLs which can be done by design or by typing systems or by other methods. It's a bad design when code doesn't know whether a URL it gets is encoded or not, and it leads to bugs like this.
