Actual results:

I looked at it on debug build it seems to cast an IDBDatabase object to IDBRequest, then checks IDBRequest::mOwningThread equals current thread, but actually reads from database object. That's why I put type confusion, only had a quick look though.

Could you look at this, Kyle?  Thanks.

Comment 2

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

No.

I'm not able to reproduce this with the debug version of Firefox 39.0a1 2015-03-17 using the information provided.

That's ok, it's an obvious bug. I will fix it.

This fixes it two ways :)

Comment 7

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

What security rating do you think this should get?  Type confusion where we're calling methods on an object of the wrong class seems like a sec-high to me.  What branches does this affect?

Comment 8

[Ben Turner (not reading bugmail, use the needinfo flag!)]

I think that's probably true. There doesn't seem to be any way to get this code to touch garbage memory (all the objects involved are live and valid), but it looks like the code will grab a piece of an IDBDatabase (part of a hashtable) and use it as a DOMError pointer. Then it will interpret some offset of that pointer as a nsString, and that has a mData pointer that could point wherever, and it will probably pretend that there's an nsStringBuffer there and increment/decrement a refcount, so it will probably subtly corrupt memory if it doesn't crash...

Basically just a big mess, but I don't think you could get this to execute arbitrary code, at least not from a quick first pass look. If it's vital we know I can dig deeper.

Alright.  As a sec-high that I assume affects more than trunk, this should have gotten sec-approval before landing.  If you could fill that out, I'd appreciate it.  If it only affects trunk, then you don't need to bother.

Comment 10

[Ben Turner (not reading bugmail, use the needinfo flag!)]

D'oh!

Comment 11

This broke in bug 887524.

Patch, v1

[Security approval request comment]
How easily could an exploit be constructed based on the patch? The patch is pretty broad, but it's reasonably easy to see what the problem is.

Do comments in the patch, the check-in comment, or tests included in the patch paint a bulls-eye on the security problem? No tests included, but see previous answer.

Which older supported branches are affected by this flaw? All the way back to FF25

If not all supported branches, which bug introduced the flaw? Bug 887524

Do you have backports for the affected branches? If not, how different, hard to create, and risky will they be? Will be simple.

How likely is this patch to cause regressions; how much testing does it need? It's very safe.

Comment 13

[Al Billings [:abillings - ex-MoCo]]

I think this missed the last beta for 37. I want to get Lawrence's opinion about taking this.

Comment 14

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

This did miss the last Beta. This wasn't even on my list as it was only recently flagged as a sec-high and is not tracked. Unless we think this must ship in 37, I would prefer to ship this fix in 38.

Comment 15

[Al Billings [:abillings - ex-MoCo]]

Ok. Since comment 12 says this would be pretty easy to spot once it is in, I'm going to give sec-approval+ for checkin on April 14, two weeks into the next cycle.

Comment 16

[Ben Turner (not reading bugmail, use the needinfo flag!)]

Al, you saw that I already checked it in? Sorry :(

Comment 17

[Al Billings [:abillings - ex-MoCo]]

#@!%

No, I missed that. Let me talk to release management.

Comment 18

[Al Billings [:abillings - ex-MoCo]]

Let's get this onto Aurora, at least.

Thanks for your help! I'm marking this verified fixed since it's been verified on Nightly. We'll probably need your help to verify this once it gets uplifted to Aurora 38 and ESR 31.

Comment 23

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

This never landed on 38? Seems we need approval requests for at least esr31/esr38 ASAP. However, Ben and Kyle are both away AFAIK, so I'm not sure who can do this request.

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

For what it's worth, https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr31/rev/4fd4c854dc0f broke unified builds on esr31 (which I had been using on Debian).

Comment 32

[Bogdan Maris, Desktop QA]

I am unable to reproduce the initial issue as well using an old debug build from 2015-03-11, so will not be able to verify the fix.
Paul can you please verify that this is fixed on ESR builds as well?
