Attempted to dereference null pointer in +[BSG_KSJSONCodec decode:options:error:]

[Naugladur]

Description

I get a lot of crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS: Attempted to dereference null pointer

Environment

Library versions:

• Bugsnag version (from your Podfile, Podfile.lock, or elsewhere): 5.23.2
• CocoaPods version (if any) (pod -v): -
• Carthage version (if any): -
• iOS/tvOS/macOS version(s): all
• debug mode or production?: both
• How are you initializing Bugsnag? Can you share a snippet of your
  AppDelegate where Bugsnag is configured?

Integrated via subproject in workspace.

func setup() {
    let config = BugsnagConfiguration()
    config.apiKey = "Key"
    config.releaseStage = "production"
    Bugsnag.start(with: config)
}

Code snippet

I think the problem is in BSG_KSCrashReportStore.m in 88 line:

- (NSDictionary *)fileWithId:(NSString *)fileId {
    NSDictionary *dict = [super fileWithId:fileId];

    if (dict != nil) {
        return dict;
    } else {
        NSMutableDictionary *fileContents = [NSMutableDictionary new];
        NSMutableDictionary *recrashReport =
                [self readFile:[self pathToRecrashReportWithID:fileId] error:nil]; // <-- here
        BSGDictInsertIfNotNil(fileContents, recrashReport, @BSG_KSCrashField_RecrashReport);
        return fileContents;
    }
}

Passing nil to method

- (NSMutableDictionary *)readFile:(NSString *)path
                            error:(NSError *__autoreleasing *)error {
...
            [BSG_KSJSONCodec decode:jsonData
                            options:BSG_KSJSONDecodeOptionIgnoreNullInArray |
                                    BSG_KSJSONDecodeOptionIgnoreNullInObject |
                                    BSG_KSJSONDecodeOptionKeepPartialObject
                              error:error];
...
}

And call -[BSG_KSJSONCodec decode:options:error:] with nil in third param as result:

+ (id)decode:(NSData *)JSONData
         options:(BSG_KSJSONDecodeOption)decodeOptions
             error:(NSError *__autoreleasing *)error {
    *error = nil; // <-- EXC_BAD_ACCESS: Attempted to dereference null pointer.
    id result = nil;
    @try {
        result = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:JSONData options:0 error:error];
    } @catch (NSException *exception) {
        result = @{};
    }
    return result;
}

Crash report:

Hi @Naugladur

Thanks for the report and for the related PR.

We're just reviewing now. Would you be able to email [email protected] and confirm which account / project you're seeing these errors on in case that helps add context for our investigation and testing of the fix.

Fixed in v6.0.0.

Note: There are a number of breaking changes in v6.0.0 as part of an effort to improve the interface and make it more consistent across our error reporting libraries, so please refer to the upgrade guide:
