765465 - nsIStorageStream memory corruption when written into and read from nsIHttpChannel

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P5)

Description

[passfree]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120420145725

Steps to reproduce:

I am writing a simple extension which creates a http channel and assigns a storage stream as an upload stream via the methods exposed by nsIUploadChannel interface. The browser will crash after data has been written into the storage stream output stream.


Actual results:

Here is an information about the crash:

I use something similar to this:

let PR_UINT32_MAX = Math.pow(2, 32) - 1; 
let storageStream = createInstance('[e-mail]/storagestream;1', 'nsIStorageStream'); 
storageStream.init(DEFAULT_SEGMENT_SIZE, PR_UINT32_MAX, null);
this.outputStream = streamTransportService.createOutputTransport(storageStream.getOutputStream( 0), -1, -1, true).openOutputStream(0, DEFAULT_SEGMENT_SIZE, DEFAULT_SEGMENT_COUNT).QueryInterface(CI.nsIAsyncOutputStream); 
request.upload(storageStream.newInputStream(0), forwarder);

The function request.upload does this:

let mimeInputStream = createInstance('@mozilla.org/network/mime-input-stream;1', 'nsIMIMEInputStream');
mimeInputStream.addContentLength = false;
mimeInputStream.setData(inputStream);
this.channel.QueryInterface(CI.nsIUploadChannel);
this.channel.setUploadStream(mimeInputStream, '', -1);
this.channel.asyncOpen(streamListener, this);

Notice that this.outputStream is an asyn output stream which I pump data into every time it is available. The crash does not occur on first instance when write method is called but at later time. If I don't call write no crash will occur. Also, the crash wont occur immediately after or during a call to write.

Also, I have tested the rest of the code with a simple pipe implementation just to see if I am doing everything else correctly and it is working perfectly fine. Though, I need a storage stream because I want to allow other extension developers to be able to observe my requests and the data they carry. This is why I need a storage stream.

Is there any way you can write a complete JS-based test for this?  XPCShell testing should be able to show it.
