800915 - Refactor wrapper hierarchy so that the result of PUNCTURE can be statically known

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Bobby Holley (:bholley)]

See bug 792280 comment 17 for the motivation here. Basically, I want to simplify all the checked unwrapping stuff so that we can know whether a wrapper is safe to unwrap (from a security perspective) just by statically examining it.

This will also involve a bit of an overdue refactor of the proxy hierarchy.

I like the sound of that.

Green! Uploading patches and flagging for review.

The big win of these patches is that we no longer need a cx to determine whether we can safely unwrap an object. This has a major impact of the typed array API.

The naming scheme for Xray typedefs is the concatenation of the tuple:
({SC,}, {Security,Permissive}, Xray, {XPCWN,DOM}). This is admittedly a bit
much, but I think it's still better than explicitly doing the "typdef Foo Xray"
everywhere. Moreover, once the new DOM bindings are done, the last component
in the tuple will go away.

If callers want to throw, it's now their responsibility.

Flagging sfink for the Spidermonkey changes, bz for the DOM changes.

Leave the parameter a RawObject. We use that as a marker to indicate that we've audited the code and determined that the parameter does not need to be rooted.

You can still rename it to plain |obj|, though.

Change obj from HandleObject to RawObject instead of JSObject*, please.

Though this is a little confusing -- I guess you changed the body of this function in an earlier patch in this bug? Because it use to do a scary

  handler->enter(cx, obj, JSID_VOID, Wrapper::PUNCTURE, &rvOnFailure)

for which it seems like a HandleObject is a better idea. Lemme dig through the other patches...

Ah, ok, this now just checks a flag. So RawObject is fine.

This is no longer needed, since we do nothing with cx while ac is in scope.

In fact, I believe ac itself is no longer needed, and at first glance cx is also now unused and all the code that gets and pushes it can go away, together with the nsCxPusher.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I got caught up on the wrapper unwrapping the callee. I think it would be clearer to say the wrapper's compartment is guaranteed to subsume the wrappee's compartment. Does that actually change anything?

Attachment: Part 1 - ESR17 backport. v1

This is a very tricky backport, because there's are various changes which make
the patch not apply directly. Specifically:

1 - ESR17 Still has DOMProxy Xrays, which didn't exist for the original patch.
2 - ESR17 doesn't have the Xray refactoring from bug 761695, which means that we
    have to do explicitly set usingXray = true whenever we select an XPWN Xray.
3 - ESR17 still has the DirectWrapper/IndirectWrapper crap.

Ms2ger said he's willing to take a stab at reviewing this.

Commit message of the original patch:

The naming scheme for Xray typedefs is the concatenation of the tuple:
({SC,}, {Security,Permissive}, Xray, {XPCWN,DOM}). This is admittedly a bit
much, but I think it's still better than explicitly doing the "typdef Foo Xray"
everywhere. Moreover, once the new DOM bindings are done, the last component
in the tuple will go away.

[Approval Request Comment]
If this is not a sec:{high,crit} bug, please state case for ESR consideration:

This is a piece of security wrapper infrastructure that we're coming to rely on more and more, and it's starting to be a problem when backporting security fixes. In particular, we need this to backport bug 809652.

User impact if declined:

Inability to backport various security fixes
 
Fix Landed on Version:

Mozilla19

Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky):

Risky patch in general. Not really any alternatives if we want to take the sec fixes. We should give it plenty of time to bake.
 
String or UUID changes made by this patch: 

None

Considering there are no real alternatives and this is needed for 809652 and may be needed in future to backport security fixes like these, there is no better time than now, approving on esr17.

Please make sure to land by 2/11 & ping QA(mwobensmith) to assist with any additional verification needed here or 809652
