Hi @AlbertWangCa

When using any version of SQLCipher for Android above 4.0.1 crash on all devices, or a specific subset? Are you able to reproduce the crash when using the SQLCipher for Android test suite?

3

Any version above 4.0.1 crashes, test suite also crashes.

4

Hi @AlbertWangCa

Yes, but on what devices is it crashing on? You’re stack trace lists an arm64_v8a device. Do you have other devices with different ABI’s?

5

So far it only happens on this type of devices, we tested on a few other devices, no crashes have been found.

Yes, this type of device is Android 10, arm64_v8a

6

By the way the crashes happens in the native_execute method from https://github.com/sqlcipher/android-database-sqlcipher/blob/e18ea7b2bc7ee2604636dacbe943bbc918580d96/android-database-sqlcipher/src/main/cpp/net_sqlcipher_database_SQLiteStatement.cpp,

That’s what we can debug into so far.

Hi @AlbertWangCa,

What is the make and model (i.e., Samsung Galaxy 5) of the device the crash is occurring on? Would you also mind sharing what devices you are testing on where it does not crash?

8

Hi Nick,

Unfortunately I can’t expose that details, we will see if the vendor can contact Zetetic directly.

Thanks

Hello Nick,

Do you have email address that we can contact with you directly about the issue?

Thanks,
Albert

Hello Nick,

Could you please let me know if sqlcipher library uses openssl library? and what version of openssl in sqlcipher library 4.0.1 and 4.2?

Thanks!

12

Hi @AlbertWangCa

SQLCipher for Android does use OpenSSL. The 4.0.1 release used 1.1.1 while the 4.2.0 release uses 1.1.1b.

Thanks Nick for the quick reply!
