Comment 1

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

Brad, can you take a look? Thanks.

Comment 2

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

nsFind::Find cannot handle empty search strings. This is normally prevented by nsGlobalWindowOuter::FindOuter which will early exit with an empty string. However, this testcase uses some complicated mechanism to reset the finder->mSearchString while finder->FindNext is already executing, so the string is emptied out before the call to nsFind::Find.

A comprehensive fix will be to make nsFind::Find resilient to empty string searches -- which is easy to do. I'm not clear if the odd behavior of the resetting of the mSearchString should also be investigated. It may cause other sorts of problems.

Bug 1542324 Part 1: Make nsFind::Find handle empty string searches.

Security Approval Request

• How easily could an exploit be constructed based on the patch?: Challenging. This allows array index -1 reading, which seems not at all useful for code injection and of only limited use for out-of-band reading.
• Do comments in the patch, the check-in comment, or tests included in the patch paint a bulls-eye on the security problem?: No
• Which older supported branches are affected by this flaw?: all
• If not all supported branches, which bug introduced the flaw?: None
• Do you have backports for the affected branches?: No
• If not, how different, hard to create, and risky will they be?: Easy to create for ESR 60.
• How likely is this patch to cause regressions; how much testing does it need?: Needs no additional testing. Handles a narrow case that is already handled in most normal calling patterns. This new case requires odd calling patterns that are unlikely to be discovered in the wild.

ESR Uplift Approval Request

• If this is not a sec:{high,crit} bug, please state case for ESR consideration:
• User impact if declined: A specific calling pattern of window.find could do an array -1 read access. Possible data exposure.
• Fix Landed on Version: 68
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): Adds a well-understood early exit case that can't cause harm.
• String or UUID changes made by this patch: none

sec-approval+ for trunk. This doesn't seem super risky.

Bug1542324-esr60.patch

Fix for sec-high issue, let's take it for esr 60.7.

Comment 9

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

Brad, can you also request beta uplift? It is usually best to ship the same fix in corresponding release and esr versions.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: A specific calling pattern of window.find could do an array -1 read access. Possible data exposure.

• List of other uplifts needed: None
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): Adds a well-understood early exit case that can't cause harm.
