release

31 May 2026

Frida 17.10.0 is here, with a big serving of Gum internals getting new superpowers and a bunch of sharp edges sanded down.

Highlights:

gum: Add a generic unwind broker for generated code. Interceptor now obtains unwind support on creation so exceptions and backtraces can propagate through trampolines, while Stalker switches to always-on PC translation on Darwin and Linux.
core: Migrate the Darwin unwind machinery to Gum’s new generic UnwindBroker and UnwindSectionsProvider APIs. The old UnwindSitter now only registers the invader’s range.
interceptor: Replace the old attach flags with composable option structs, covering scratch register selection, online/offline scenarios, relocation policy, replacement data, and listener data.
gumjs: Expose the new Interceptor instrumentation options to JavaScript. attach(), replace(), and replaceFast() may now take an options object carrying the target and the new instrumentation knobs.
interceptor: Add support for custom redirect emitters and process-wide default options. This lets callers provide the instruction sequence written over a hooked function’s prologue, making hook sites less predictable.
gumjs: Expose custom redirect emitters, redirect-space hints, and default Interceptor options in both the QuickJS and V8 runtimes.
interceptor: Fix hangs after exceptions or longjmp() unwind past hooked calls. Invocation frames that never reach their on-leave trampoline are now reaped correctly, preventing gum_interceptor_flush() from spinning forever.
unwind-broker: Add support for the 32-bit ARM EH ABI, including ARM-specific personality and exidx handling.
unwind-broker: Fix exception handling through stalked code by reading throw and resume instruction pointers through the original unwind routines.
stalker-x86: Enable unwind support on Android, matching the arm64 backend.
stalker-arm64: Stop requiring nearby slab allocation, allowing code and data slabs to be allocated anywhere.
memory: Restore page protections after patching code, tightening pages back to RX unless they were originally RWX.
exceptor: Add a handler-only mode that installs Frida’s signal handlers without hooking signal() and sigaction().
module-registry: Allow custom RTLD notifier offsets on ELF and Darwin, useful for making Frida more stealthy.
core: Expose agent feature toggles and linker notifier offsets through SessionOptions, including exceptor mode, unwind broker, exit monitor, and thread suspend monitor settings.
base: Fix asset resolution in installed layouts using frida-1.0/<arch>/, where the probe previously checked a path still containing the literal <arch> token.
devkit: Sync Gum examples with the new attach options.
deps: Bump dependencies to 20260531, including Capstone d536b15, and update @types/frida-gum to 19.3.0.
