Frida 15.1.25 Released ∞
release
oleavr
Quite a few exciting bits in this release. Let’s dive right in.
FPU/vector register access
Some great news for those of you using Frida on 32- and 64-bit ARM. Up until now, we have only exposed the CPU’s integer registers, but as of this release, FPU/vector registers are also available! 🎉
For 32-bit ARM this means q0 through q15, d0 through d31, and s0 through s31. As for 64-bit ARM they’re q0 through q31, d0 through d31, and s0 through s31. If you’re accessing these from JavaScript, the vector properties are represented using ArrayBuffer, whereas for the others we’re using the number type.
Java.backtrace()
Our existing Java.backtrace() API now provides a couple of new properties in the returned frames, which now also expose methodFlags and origin.
Quality
I finally plugged a memory leak in our RPC server-side code. This was introduced by me in 15.1.10 when implementing an optimization in the Vala compiler’s code generation for DBus reply handling. Shoutout to @rev1si0n for reporting and helping track down this regression!
EOF
There are also some other goodies in this release, so definitely check out the changelog below.
Enjoy!
Changelog
- vala: Plug leak in server-side GDBus reply handling. This affected all server-side implementations in Frida.
- glib: Disable support for “charset.alias”. This means we no longer try to open this file, which could cause sandbox violations on some systems, such as iOS.
- java: (android) Add methodFlags to Java.backtrace() frames.
- java: (android) Add origin to Java.backtrace() frames.
- java: (android) Prevent ART from compiling replaced methods. Kudos to @s1341 for figuring this one out!
- cpu-context: Add ARM FPU/vector registers and NZCV.
- cpu-features: Add VFPD32 flag and detection logic.
