Summary
Fix memory safety issues in
KeyCodeConverter.m:CFStringCreateWithCharactersreturn valueTISCopyCurrentKeyboardInputSourceandTISGetInputSourcePropertyreturn values to prevent crashesCFDictionaryGetValueIfPresentcall that could cause stack corruption on 64-bit systemsProblem
The
keyCodeForCharfunction has a critical bug: it passes a pointer toCGKeyCode(which isuint16_t, 2 bytes) toCFDictionaryGetValueIfPresent, but this function writes a pointer-sized value (8 bytes on 64-bit systems). This causes stack overflow and corrupts adjacent memory.Additionally, several CoreFoundation functions that can return NULL were not checked before use, which could lead to crashes.
