@abratchik Would it be possible for you to take a look at either this PR or #28? I've already tested the change locally. |
The method currently uses a local bval variable as argument when calling HID().SendReport(...). This is problematic, since the SendReport method doesn't use bval immediately. It instead captures a pointer to bval which is accessed when the report is sent at a later point. This leads to a use-after-free situation when the pointer captured by SendReport no longer point to bval, but some other unknown data.

Alternative to #28.
The method currently uses a local
bvalvariable as argument when callingHID().SendReport(...). This is problematic, since theSendReportmethod doesn't usebvalimmediately. It instead captures a pointer tobvalwhich is accessed when the report is sent at a later point. This leads to a use-after-free situation when the pointer captured bySendReportno longer point tobval, but some other unknown data.Proposing to delete the
sendDatemethod, since it's both broken and unused. Client code can anyhow set date parameters through manualsetFeaturecalls as was done in #25.
