Fatal Execution Engine Error con Framework a 64 bit

Recentemente ho lavorato ad un paio di casi relativi a questo errore, spero con questo post di risparmiare un po’ di stress e mal di testa a qualcun’altro.

Il problema si manifesta solamente con il Framework a 64 bit (la stessa applicazione eseguita con il Framework a 32 bit funziona correttamente): il processo termina maniera random e nell’event log vengono loggati messaggi simili al seguente:

Event Type:      Error
Event Source:   .NET Runtime
Date:                12-02-2009 10:58:36

Description: .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3082 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (000006427F8A5DC8) (80131506)

Catturando un crash dump del processo, lo stack del thread “problematico” è questo:

Non voglio tediarvi con i dettagli (ma se siete interessati, lasciate pure un commento ), sostanzialmente si tratta di verificare se nel vostro codice utilizzate i metodi Convert.FromBase64String (o direttamente CryptoAPITransform.TransformFinalBlock): se lo fate, assicuratevi di non passare una stringa vuota come parametro da convertire. Ad esempio:

 Public Function Decrypt(ByVal Source As String) As String
    
    Dim byteArr As Byte() = System.Convert.FromBase64String(Source)
    
    [...]
    
End Function

dovrebbe essere modificato in:

 Public Function Decrypt(ByVal Source As String) As String
    'convert from Base64 to binary

    If Not IsNullOrEmpty(Source) Then
        Return String.Empty
    End If
    
    Dim byteArr As Byte() = System.Convert.FromBase64String(Source)
    
    [...]
    
End Function
