    Description

      First thread: QDBusAbstractInterface::call. This function calls connection.call(qdbusabstractinterface.cpp : line 488) which will wait for the call to be finished(qdbusintegrator.cpp : line 2039).
      QDBusConnectionThread: While the first thread is waiting this thread will run until the first thread is woken up while in processFinishedCall(qdbusintegrator.cpp : line 1890).

      At this point both threads are free to run.

      First Thread: After connection.call finishes the QDBusAbstractInterface checks to see if the reply has any arguments. If it does not, a default constructed QVariant is appended to the reply’s arguments(qdbusabstractinterface.cpp : line 494). When the QVariant is appended to the arguments the d_ptr is not detached and there is a FIXME(qdbusmessage.cpp line 748 // FIXME: should we detach?).
      QDBusConnectionThread: After the wait condition.wakeAll() the msg(reply) is checked to see if it is an error. If the msg(reply) is an error then a QDBusError is created with the msg(reply)(qdbusintegrator.cpp : line 1894). While constructing the QDBusError the reply reads contents of its arguments(qdbusmessage.cpp : line 88/89).

      With the first thread potentially writing to the reply’s arguments shortly after the wakeup and the QDBusConnectionThread potentially reading from the reply’s arguments shortly after the wakeup leading to a data race. Since this data race is happening on the reply’s arguments and we have an instance of a crash involving bad data with the same reply’s arguments, it seems that the data race is causing this instance of bad data.
