293671 - nsScriptSecurityManager::GetBaseURIScheme doesn't handle jar:view-source:

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Security, defect, P1)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

nsScriptSecurityManager::GetBaseURIScheme doesn't handle jar:view-source:...
correctly because the jar: and view-source: cases don't use recursion as they
ought to.  This provides a way to get around
nsIScriptSecurityManager.DISALLOW_JAVASCRIPT or DISALLOW_JAVASCRIPT_OR_DATA checks.

Testcase to be attached, variant of bug 290036 and bug 290949.

Since you're touching this, we should use libc's version of strcmp(), not the
PL version.

The scheme is be normalized to all lowercase.  (Do we ever get schemes that
necko specifically knows about that are not lowercased?).  We can change this
to the libc strcmp() version.

My goal here was to change as little as possible; it's already using
EqualsLiteral on the trunk.

Checked in to trunk (still matters for data:).
