Issue #20934 has been updated by alanwu (Alan Wu).


Nice find! The repro script tips off ASAN too:

It's use-after-free with a `rb_method_definition_t`. Judging solely by the trace, the underlying issue might not be ractor specific.

Bug #20934: `UnboundMethod#bind_call` may cause "double free or corruption" with Ractor
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20934#change-110879

* Author: wanabe (_ wanabe)
* Status: Open
* ruby -v: ruby 3.4.0dev (2024-12-06T18:51:08Z :detached: 8ad6860ff7) +PRISM [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
When I call `UnboundMethod#bind_call` on both main Ractor and child Ractor, probable errors can be encountered.
Here is an issue reproduce script `ractor_issue.rb`.
```
def foo
  10000.times do
    Object.instance_method(:object_id).bind_call(self)
  end
end

Ractor.new { foo }
foo
```

And there are some examples of execution results.

```
$ ./miniruby -v ractor_issue.rb 
ruby 3.4.0dev (2024-12-06T18:51:08Z :detached: 8ad6860ff7) +PRISM [x86_64-linux]
ractor_issue.rb:7: warning: Ractor is experimental, and the behavior may change in future versions of Ruby! Also there are many implementation issues.
double free or corruption (fasttop)
