This fixes a latent bug in Firestore's
ListenerRegistration::Remove()
where it could use invalid memory if invoked concurrently. The fix is to simply guard the entire method's body with a mutex.The issue is that one thread could use
client_
(ashared_ptr
) that has been reset by another thread. Specifically, in this code blockfirebase-ios-sdk/Firestore/core/src/api/query_listener_registration.cc
Lines 47 to 53 in 26075af
one thread could invoke
client_.reset()
on line 53 just before another thread invokesclient_->RemoveListener(query_listener)
on line 49.This may be the root cause of #10026 and #9302. I'll ask the customer to report back once they upgrade to a version that contains this fix.
