Bug #20688
closedUse-after-free in WeakMap and WeakKeyMap
Description
GitHub PR: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/11421
We cannot free the weakmap_entry before the ST_DELETE because it could hash the key which would read the weakmap_entry and would cause a use-after-free. Instead, we store the entry and free it on the next iteration.
For example, the following script triggers a use-after-free in Valgrind:
weakmap = ObjectSpace::WeakMap.new
10_000.times { weakmap[Object.new] = Object.new }
