Customer Impact
Fixes: #94579
The issue was reported by an external customer. In rare cases when creating a weak reference instance an application may crash with ExecutionEngineException in the runtime while probing for COM interop info.
The repro is a fairly large WinForms app (paint.net)
When run with
GCStress=2
the crash is nearly 100% certain.Testing
Regular testing.
Manually validated that the customer repro no longer causes EE crashes. That includes running it under
GCStress=2
Risk
Low. The fix is adding a missing null-check where we had an assert.
Turns out the asserted condition may not hold when racing with GC and must be handled.
