    Description

      In an app I am developing (source is here: http://gitlab.com/rpdev/opentodolist/) I am currently getting feedback from users that they are seeing crashes in the lastest version. The only change I see that happened that could have introduced this IMAO is that I update the app from Qt 5.14.x to 5.15.

      Basically, the crash occurs when I am calling QJsonDocument::fromBinaryData() on a QByteArray that is read from an LMDB cache:

       

      ItemCacheEntry ItemCacheEntry::fromByteArray(const QByteArray& data, const QByteArray& id)
      {
          ItemCacheEntry result;
          auto map = QJsonDocument::fromBinaryData(data).toVariant().toMap();
          if (map["type"] == Item::staticMetaObject.className()) {
              result.valid = true;
              result.id = QUuid(id);
              result.data = map["data"];
              result.metaData = map["meta"];
              result.parentId = map["parent"].toUuid();
          }
          return result;
      }
      

       

      This used to work great in the past and also does for the current release of the app in most cases. However, as mentioned, some users report crashes. Here is an except from an adb log on a device where the issue occurs:

      I created a disassembly of the Qt Core library. Looking at the faulting address, it seems to be the data validation that fails (i.e. the ldrd instruction):

      From my humble understanding of the ARM instruction set and the error that is reported, it seems like a badly aligned memory access.

      Let me know if you need more details from my side to better understand the issue
