Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to a small web page, such as http://www.google.com/. 2. Use the bookmarklet in this bug's URL field. 3. Wait a while. Result: more often than not, Firefox crashes with a minute or two. Here are the crashes I've seen so far with the bookmarklet: nsStyleContext::GetStyleData() TB8922845W, TB8923024X, TB8923158K, TB8923275Q, TB8923389M, TB8923438Z GetNifOrSpecialSibling() TB8923432H nsCSSFrameConstructor::GetFloatContainingBlock() TB8922738K, TB8923005W, TB8923133W* The starred crash report is particularly scary because it occurred at a "random address" with SIGILL. According to the libc manual, "SIGILL typically indicates that the executable file is corrupted, or that you are trying to execute data." I'm filing this as a security-sensitive bug because I have already found a potential security hole with it. I will keep the bookmarklet secret for now as well, because someone with the bookmarklet might be able to rediscover the scarier crashes. I can make a more deterministic version of the bookmarklet if that would make it easier to make a testcase for each crash it finds.

These additional assertions prevent one problem from showing up 20 frames down the stack when we do a bogus reflow with a bogus 0 availableHeight -- they at least cause the problem to show up as an assertion pretty close to where it happens. I think the underlying problem here is bug 203923. But I don't know whether it's related to any of the crashes, which I haven't hit yet.
The GetNifOrSpecialSibling crash might also be exploitable: TB8950615Y.

All of the crashes I've found so far happen on the Gecko 1.8 branch but not on trunk. I suspect they all have the same underlying cause, which was fixed on the trunk after the branch point.
I've seen Opera(Win), IE(Win), and Safari(Mac) crash with this bookmarklet. I haven't seen Firefox trunk crash yet.
Jesse, could you possibly try trunk builds to see when the crash disappeared on trunk?
The crashes for the testcases on all four bugs (bug 306782, bug 306787, bug 306789, bug 306798) disappeared between Aug 16 and Aug 17 trunk nightlies. 2005-08-16-07-trunk - crash (all four testcases) 2005-08-17-09-trunk - no crash (all four testcases) Bug 265367 was checked in between those builds. Could it have fixed these crashes?
FWIW I eventually got a crash running that bookmarklet on this very page (the bug report itself, I mean).
> Bug 265367 was checked in between those builds. Could it have fixed these > crashes? Possibly, yes. It would certainly help on any page that has an animated image in a very direct way; for other pages I'm not sure how it could prevent crashes, but I wouldn't be too surprised. Also bug 289377 landed in the same range. And so did bug 303484.
So I found a general case where the patch for bug 265367 would prevent a crash. Say we have nodes A, B, and C and that the frame for node A is a leaf (eg A is an <img>). Consider the following sequence of operations, starting with a state when A is in the document and hence has a frame (called A'). 1) Insert B as a child of A. This creates a frame B' for B, sets the parent of B' to be A', sets B' as the primary frame for B. Then we try to append B' to the frame list of A'. This throws, but the error return is ignored. So B' is not in the child list of A' (since A' has no child list). 2) Move A to a different place in the DOM. This destroys A' and all its descendants. Since B' is not a child of A', B' is NOT destroyed. 3) Insert C as a child of B. This tries to create a frame C' for C, with B' as its parent (since B' is what we got when we did a primary frame lookup on B). We start looking up things like the containing blocks we should use, which means we walk the parent chain of B'. But the mParent pointer of B' points to the now-deleted A' frame, or in other words to some random memory. We might not crash there right away, since the random memory comes from an arena and hence is probably still allocated to our process; if we've allocated over it again, it won't even be marked with 0xdddddddd. The alternative to the patch for bug 265367 is to actually check rv for all cases when we're inserting or appending frames and clean up if it fails (at the very least clean up the primary frame map). This is not completely trivial to do right in full generality (i.e. with destruction of the not-appended frames), I suspect, and the patch for bug 265367 is pretty safe given that there have been no regressions reported yet, so maybe we should just take bug 265367 on the branch and also add the rv checks on trunk just in case?
Jesse, what did 1.0.x do with this test case? Is this crash a regression over 1.0? Fixing this crash may mean taking a pretty large change to gecko, Bug 265367 which scares me after a looking at it briefly. I'd like to see if this crash is new or not and how many crash reports we are seeing in talkback before making a decision on this and 265367.
> what did 1.0.x do with this test case? Crashed. It also crashed on the testcases in bug 291022 and bug 291513, of course. ;) And I think the reason Jesse is worried is not just because it's a crash but a crash likely to be exploitable. For what it's worth, the change for bug 265367 is a good bit safer than a lot of the other stuff we've been landing on branch for a while now... At least in my opinion. The other approach (of checking rv on the inserts/appends) would actually be less safe, imo (and would certainly be less tested; I was running with the patch in bug 265367 for three months and didn't see any issues).
going to take 256367 asap.

I made a small change to the bookmarklet so it would work on XML pages: - var myRoot = document.body; + var myRoot = document.body || document.documentElement;

Checked in bug 265367 on the 1.8 branch.
Aaron, tomorrow's branch build won't crash much when you use this bookmarklet on HTML pages, so you can start testing accessiblity code and/or screen readers with this bookmarklet. See the testcase in e.g. bug 306915 for the version that includes its own random number generator for reproducibility.
See also bug 306939, the metabug for another crash-finding bookmarklet.
I should do another round of testing on HTML now that I can avoid the crashes caused by bug 265367. Bug 306902 shows up often (with many different seeds) on mixed HTML-and-MathML. I'll do another round of testing on mixed HTML-and-MathML pages once it is fixed. Bug 306911 or bug 306915 happens almost immediately when I run the bookmarklet on a XUL page. I'll do another round of testing on XUL pages once they are fixed.
How much do we care about assertion failures turned up by this kind of testing? Memory leaks?
> How much do we care about assertion failures turned up by this kind of testing? I care a good bit. > Memory leaks? Same, esp. if we can get a non-randomized testcase... ;)
(In reply to comment #20) > > How much do we care about assertion failures turned up by this kind of testing? > > I care a good bit. I proposed that we make assertions fatal for 1.9, see http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/2005_01.html. dbaron suggested doing this first by setting the XPCOM_DEBUG_BREAK envariable for some tinderbox machines, to build up cross-platform testing coverage. That's a good idea, and I think we will do this starting tomorrow, or as soon as we can. /be

I'm seeing crashes at DoDeletingFrameSubtree (bug 307277) and/or nsBlockFrame::Destroy (bug 307280) on multiple sites: http://www.csszengarden.com/, http://www.43things.com/, http://www.w3.org/Style/. Once those bugs are fixed, I'll retest those sites.
Putting new version of the bookmarklet in the URL field. You can now control the random number seed and several speed-related parameters.

* Added discovery of nodes in frames, iframes, and <embed>s containing SVG. * Added discovery of XBL anonymous children. * Made it use chained setTimeout instead of setInterval to improve responsiveness when slow. * Increased the default speed. * Commented out the "javascript:" at the top of the non-bookmarklet version because it caused a parse error in Safari.

There are five remaining StirDOM crashes that look exploitable to me: * Tables: bug 308752 * DOM+UI: bug 307992, bug 307989 * MathML: bug 309120, bug 307826 There are several types of content for which Stir DOM runs into the same crash often enough that it's hard to tell whether there are other crashes: * XBL: bug 308120 * XUL grids: bug 306911 * XUL trees: bug 291531, bug 309732 * SVG: bug 307444 Based on what bz said in a security-group@ email, it sounds like we can't fix the XUL crashes for Firefox 1.5 without making Firefox 1.5 slip. I'm ok with postponing the release of Stir DOM until the next version of Firefox and hoping nobody else thinks of doing the same kind of fuzz testing on web browsers. It would be nice if the already-known, exploitable-looking crashes were fixed for Firefox 1.5, though. Gecko has a hidden pref for disabling SVG for use during security firedrills. It might be worthwhile to add similar prefs for disabling: * XUL in non-chrome * MathML * XBL in non-chrome (including <marquee> and <xul:button>)

crashes or timeouts found in this run appear as stirdom: url?fuzz=parms... The test loads the page (with the querystring), then runs the stirdom bookmarklet with the specified parameters. You can copy/paste the parameters from the query string directly into the stirdom input prompt. The end of each line identifies the machine, the date the test run began and the build which was tested. For example, prunessh/2005-12-17-02-34-33-firefox-1.5-build-dbg-1.8_2005121411.log was run on prune (a windows machine), on Dec 17, using a 1.8 debug build built on 2005-12-14-11. You can reproduce each test case by loading the url including the query string, then running stirdom with the appropriate parameter.

Attached file Stir DOM recorder (obsolete) —
Changes made to both Stir DOM and Random Styles recorders: 1. Make it record information about chunks/intervals so that (a) it can record the equivalent of a nonzero "number of changes to do immediately" in the bookmarklet. (b) while reducing, the chunk boundaries don't move. 2. Make it work with both XML and HTML without requiring separate versions. 3. Improve the instructions.

Stupid bug: if(n.getSVGDocument){try{addNodes(n.getSVGDocument());}catch(ex){}} should check that n.getSVGDocument() is non-null before recursing. I'm not fixing it (yet) because I'm lazy, and because it would change the behavior of the script on any page that uses Flash and I want to avoid changing its behavior too much.

Stir DOM and some other fuzzers will need changes once bug 47903, "WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR not being thrown", is fixed. I'm not fixing Stir DOM now because I'm hoping to use adoptNode (bug 330677) rather than importNode.
