Attached file testcase
See testcase which crashes current trunk and branch builds on load.
Since this also crashes on branch, I'm marking it security sensitive for now.

I get  "ASSERTION: bad parent frame pointer: 'kid->GetParent() == (nsIFrame*)this', file /home/fantasai/moz/mozilla/layout/generic/nsContainerFrame.cpp, line 1497" when I try to print a frametree right before StealFrame. So I don't think the failure is StealFrame's fault: somebody's screwed up the frame tree.
Also crashes Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Linux

Attached file Frame dump
We are reflowing a frame tree that looks like this.
Note that the parent pointers for the float child next-in-flows
haven't been setup yet due the "lazy parent pointer" optimization.

What happens is this (roughly):
reflow the second line (0x1467b18)
  which reflows the placeholder
  and then reflows the float, which decides it's complete and calls
    DeleteNextInFlowChild() on the kid's next-in-flow (0x1459bb0).

But DeleteNextInFlowChild() requires correct parent pointers!
Attached patch WIP (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This fixes the crash, but also kills this optimization I guess.
Is there a way to avoid that, at least in most cases?
(I'll dig some more tomorrow)
Assignee: nobody → mats.palmgren
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Killing that optimization would be very unfortunate...
Why wouldn't an sg:critical bug block the release? If it's not actually a security bug please let us know, otherwise please block on this one.

Roc - why did you minus this?
Because I minused it in October and Mats identified it as sg:critical? in December. It should block now.

Do we need to make this blocking or not?  The comments seem to suggest this should block.
Still crashes [@ nsInlineFrame::ReflowFrames] on trunk.

Mats, are you still working on this?

Attached patch crashtest.diffSplinter Review
Attached patch Patch rev. 2 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
The crash only occurs when we delete a next-in-flow that is a child of
a ns(Positioned)InlineFrame in reflow with "lazilySetParentPointer" set.
I think such next-in-flow frames can only occur for ::first-letter
(or possibly ::first-line ?) child frames.  I don't think ::first-line
is a problem since it seems to do all re-parenting up front and it
leaves InlineReflowState::mSetParentPointer false:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/generic/nsInlineFrame.cpp?mark=876-890#865

At one point I also did ReparentFloatsForInlineChild() for the
next-in-flow but it seems overkill since they are always text frames
(we may want to revisit this in the future when we allow first-letter
to dig into child blocks -- which I think would lead to nested
first-letter frames).

This looks good but I think it would be best to move this "fix lazy parent pointer" code out to nsLayoutUtils and give it a real spec and documentation.
Attached patch Patch rev. 3Splinter Review
This is a different approach;  fix the parent for letter frame child
next-in-flows before reflowing the letter frame.  I think I prefer this
patch - it brings a little bit of first-letter knowledge into nsInlineFrame
rather than bringing nsInlineFrame internals into nsFirstLetterFrame.
(and it would be easier to add ReparentFloatsForInlineChild here too
if we need it in the future)

What do you think?

Patch rev. 3

I like it. Probably should add an assertion that 'child' and its next-in-flows are text frames.

Whiteboard: [sg:critical?] using freed frame → [sg:critical?] using freed frame [needs addressing review comments and landing]
This has a reviewed patch, though I'm not sure roc's review comment was addressed.  Can we get this landed please, as it is one of our "Top Security Bugs"?
Added the suggested assertions:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/18ae5e6af525

I'm holding the crashtest until Firefox 3.0.x is fixed.
