995067 - Open /proc/cpuinfo conflicts with sandbox

Status: NEW

(Core :: Security: Process Sandboxing, defect, P3)

Description

[Stephanie Ouillon [:arroway] (needinfo me)]

I don't have a stacktrace for this one, only the return address pointing to 
./webrtc/trunk/webrtc/system_wrappers/source/android/cpu-features.c:72

open("/proc/cpuinfo", O_READONLY)

This is happening when an app starts up.

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

I'll note that once the LoadManager is enabled by default, we'll look at /proc/stat in content/media/webrtc/LoadMonitor.cpp.  Also there are patches underway to get similar info for Windows and Mac.  See bug 1007775

Move process sandboxing bugs to their new, separate component.

LoadManager is one of those things that logically belongs in the parent.
