Summary

These look like two really old bugs.

Part of the issue is that <object> / <embed> manage their frame loader quite
differently from <iframe>. This means that we may have a PresShell /
ViewManager / etc for a frame loader that doesn't yet have a frame associated.

For example, this is the viewport creation for the SVG document that reproduces
the problem:

The parent view may not be set properly if the frame is not current by the time
it is created. For example in this case the parent for the root view is
non-null and comes from the following MakeWindow call:

However, even though aContainerView is non-null, the view is incorrect, it's
the view for the _old_ frame.

The view parent/child relationship gets cleared properly in:

But the temporary state is stored in the _old_ frame-loader, so when we create
the new frame, we get to nsSubDocumentFrame::Init, and find nothing, and thus
go through nsFrameLoader::Show. But we do have a pres-shell, and
nsFrameLoader::Show just early-returns then, and thus we end up with a detached
pres shell which is not hooked to the view tree and thus not painted...

So there are multiple potential fixes. First (this is the approach this patch
takes):

  • Make nsHideViewer not fail to hide a presentation when the frame loader has changed. This is not an issue per se, but leaves stale views / etc living for too long which is not nice.
  • Fix up the Show() code path to handle this case properly by parenting the pres-shell and initializing the docshell properly.

Second potential fix would be to store the temporary state somewhere else than
the frame loader (like the element). This may be a less invasive change
somehow, but it looks pretty fishy to me, and not particularly better...

Terribly sorry about the lack of test-case, but this is racy as crazy and I had
a lot of trouble to even reproduce it in a debug build. This needs the
PresShell creation for the subdocument to happen right after setting .data on
the <object>, but before processing its reframe.

Hmm, so this is basically pulling the stashed views via a different path (from the docshell of the frame loader instead of from the detached views on the frame loader), and inserting the views back in at a different point in the code (nsFramerLoader::Show instead of nsSubdocumentFrame::Init). The one thing that is different though is that we are not checking that the container document is the same. I'm not sure why that is necessary but it was specifically asked for in the original bug (bug 775965, comment 6). So that makes me think it is important. Which makes me think we should move the stashing to the element so we can keep that check and continue having only one place that does the re-inserting of stashed views. What makes you think moving the stashed views to the element is fishy?

Even if you can't get a testcase to reliably reproduce I still think there is a lot of value in landing the testcase. We run tests in a lot of different configurations and so timing might change that could catch this bug regressing. I know I've seen bugs come and go in our testing infrastructure (ie bug 1582653 went away for months). Also, I know at one time our fuzzers used crashtests as seeds for their random fuzzing. The fact that this issue hasn't been found by fuzzing suggests this area hasn't really been tested by fuzzers, so if we add a testcase the fuzzing can maybe explore this area.

This isn't this bug but I'm pretty certain all of nsSubdocumentFrame hasn't been written with the fact that the frameloader can change in mind. Do you know if a frameloader change always causes a frame recreation of the nsSubdocumentFrame? Even a frame recreation might not be enough because you're suggesting that we might be doing some things with the nsSubdocumentFrame before it gets destroyed. So we might need a followup/audit for this.

It's not exactly the same. In particular, when we hit this case we still go down through the InitWindow code-path. Checking the document is important for the reframe case so that you don't end up accidentally exposing a document that shouldn't be exposed. But that shouldn't be an issue for this because frameloader changes cause a reframe.

Which makes me think we should move the stashing to the element so we can keep that check and continue having only one place that does the re-inserting of stashed views. What makes you think moving the stashed views to the element is fishy?

I think it's a bit fishy because we'd still somehow need to detect whether this docshell has been properly initialized or not to avoid early-returning.

Yeah, I'll try to write a test with the refresh-driver control mechanism... Let's see how far I get.

Will file. But yeah, every change to the frameloader should cause a reframe, just not synchronously (which is the reason for this bug)... In this case it's done here via the loadingChanged condition.

Ah, okay.

Checking the document is important for the reframe case so that you don't end up accidentally exposing a document that shouldn't be exposed. But that shouldn't be an issue for this because frameloader changes cause a reframe.

This confuses me. Important for the reframe case but okay because the frameloader change causes a reframe?

Could the containing document change simultaneously with the frame loader change? Probably exceedingly rare, but an attacker could try to force it to happen.

Which makes me think we should move the stashing to the element so we can keep that check and continue having only one place that does the re-inserting of stashed views. What makes you think moving the stashed views to the element is fishy?

I think it's a bit fishy because we'd still somehow need to detect whether this docshell has been properly initialized or not to avoid early-returning.

Okay.

Even if you can't get a testcase to reliably reproduce I still think there is a lot of value in landing the testcase. We run tests in a lot of different configurations and so timing might change that could catch this bug regressing. I know I've seen bugs come and go in our testing infrastructure (ie bug 1582653 went away for months). Also, I know at one time our fuzzers used crashtests as seeds for their random fuzzing. The fact that this issue hasn't been found by fuzzing suggests this area hasn't really been tested by fuzzers, so if we add a testcase the fuzzing can maybe explore this area.

Yeah, I'll try to write a test with the refresh-driver control mechanism... Let's see how far I get.

Just landing it as it should be fine.

Thinking about this some more, does your new view hooking up code in nsFrameLoader::Show actually get executed? Wouldn't the change to nsHideViewer mean that we call nsFrameLoader::Hide before the code in nsFrameLoader::Show could execute (and that would presumably destroy the presshell)?

Similar to the situation I mentioned above, would it be possible for the frameloader change the nsObjectLoadingContent does to happen simultaneously with a change to the remoteness of the frameloader?

I was confused here. The document check is not useful anywhere as unbinding from the document causes the frame loader to be destroyed. So I don't think that's a concern. I can probably remove the check in a follow-up.

It does get executed. Note that the frame loader in nsHideViewer is different from the one that we end up calling Show() on.

I'm not sure what you mean, mind clarifying?
