463205 - It's possible to make SessionStore inject text data into the wrong document

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[moz_bug_r_a4]

SessionStore does not check whether a loaded document is an intended document
when restoring text data.  (On trunk, SessionStore checks a top-level
document's url, but does not check subframes.  On fx3/fx2, SessionStore does
not check at all.)  Thus, it's possible to make SessionStore inject text data
into the wrong document by loading a new document during restoration.

Could be sg:moderate because of the session-restore requirement, but it's not hard to imagine a page using a known crasher to effectively force a tab reload so sg:high for now.

r=me, looks to resolve this case. minor issue: is there a case where the loaded URI might differ from the string-serialized URI in a valid way? if so, maybe nsIURI.equals() would be better?

Requesting approval for Beta 2 due to [sg:high].

Not AFAICT, as it is ourselves who restored that frame in the first place.

Simon, is 1.8.1 branch affected? If so, can you make a patch for that as well?

There's a more comprehensive fix in bug 464620. We'll still want to land the tests from attachment #346550 [details] [diff] [review], though.

We're closing up for beta2 and this hasn't landed yet, so we'll hold off until after we branch.

Also: was this fixed on trunk by bug 464620 as indicated in the previous comment?

Comment 16

[Simon Bünzli]

This issue was indeed FIXED by bug 464620 on Trunk and both the 1.8.1 and 1.9 branches. The tests will land in bug 464620 as well.
