+Subject: [PATCH] gthreadedresolver: Fix race between source callbacks and
+ finalize
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+I had thought that because `g_source_destroy()` was called for the two
+sources (cancel and timeout) in the `GTask` finalize function for a
+threaded resolver operation, that it would be fine to use a plain
+pointer in the source callbacks to point to the `GTask`.
+
+That turns out to not be true: because the source callbacks are executed
+in the GLib worker thread, and the `GTask` can be finalized in another
+thread, it’s possible for a source callback (e.g. `cancelled_cb()`) to
+be scheduled in the worker thread, then for the `GTask` to be finalized,
+and then the source callback to continue execution and find itself
+doing a use-after-free.
+
+Fix that by using a weak ref to the `GTask` in the source callbacks,
+rather than a plain pointer.
+

+Fixes: #3105
