Steps to reproduce:
  1. download ASAN debug build from
     https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Testing/Firefox_and_Address_Sanitizer
     https://index.taskcluster.net/v1/task/gecko.v2.mozilla-central.latest.firefox.linux64-asan-debug/artifacts/public/build/target.tar.bz2
  2. extract it
  3. run firefox
  4. in about:preferences, disable e10s and restart
  5. install UnMHT extension
     https://addons.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/addon/unmht/
     https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/unmht/addon-8051-latest.xpi
  6. open https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2017-05/
  7. click UnMHT Toolbar button (orange one) to open menu, and click [Quick Save]

Actual Result:
  crash:

==1991==ABORTING


Without ASAN build, I confirm the hostname part of URL becomes random character (so I guess use-after-free happens here).
the extension doesn't contain any binary component, only JS and some XUL, so at least it won't result in UAF without a bug in firefox itself.
I confirmed the random character on OSX (64bit) and linux (64bit).

this looks like started happening around firefox 52.
I'll try bisecting shortly.
the string is `sParam.baseDir`, in _startSerializeDocument in res/modules/UnMHTSave.jsm
>         if (!sParam.hasBaseElement &&
>             sParam.baseDir &&
>             sParam.baseDir != "about:blank") {
>           let node = UnMHTSaveUtils.makeBaseNode(sParam.targetDocument,
>                                                  sParam.baseDir);
>           head.appendChild(node);
>           tmpNodes.push(node);
>         }

the value is calculated in _getBaseDir in res/modules/UnMHTSave.jsm
>   _getBaseDir: function(targetDocument, location, sParam) {
>     let hasBaseElement = false;
>     let baseDir
>       = arPathUtils.getBaseDir(UnMHTSaveUtils.getMHTLocation(location));
> ...
>     sParam.baseDir = baseDir;

I tried to check where the string appears first, but the issue disappears when observing the baseDir value in _getBaseDir...
now looking for a related string passed to AutoStableStringChars.

what I expect:
  https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2017-05/

what I confirmed in AutoStableStringChars::init so far:
  JSString* (0x1af0dc058) = char16_t * (0x1adf98708) = "https://www.mozilla.org/media/img/tabzilla/tabzilla-static.953a65a1f4a4.png"

I'll check other methods.
I overlooked one more in AutoStableStringChars::init, but it looks like session restore data, and I don't think it could be reused by dependentstring or something...

JSString* (0x10d6d02f8) = char16_t * (0x12a780008) = "{"version":["sessionrestore",1],"windows":[{"tabs":[{"entries":[{"url":"https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2017-05/","title":"Security vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox 52 \u2014 Mozilla","charset":"UTF-8","ID":1,"docshellUUID":"{e0826aff-5354-9d4c-b8c2-d6db3560d54c}","originalURI":"https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2017-05/","triggeringPrincipal_base64":"SmIS26zLEdO3ZQBgsLbOywAAAAAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEY=",....

now I'm re-building with --disable-optimize

what I did on the documentURI is, patterm match on the string with RegExp and get each match result (that is dependent string):

>     m = path.match(/^([A-Za-z0-9\-]+):\/\/([^\/]*)\/([^\?]*)(\?(((?:.|\r|\n)*)*))?$/);
>     if (m) {
>       /*
>        * http://host1/hoge/fuga.html
>        * http://host1/hoge/fuga.cgi?name=value
>        */
>       info.type = arPathType.URI;
>       info.sep = "/";
>       info.scheme = m[1];
>       info.host = m[2];
>       let m2 = info.host.match(/^(.+):([0-9]+)$/);
>       if (m2) {
>         info.host = m2[1];
>         info.port = m2[2];
>       }
>       info.pathComponents = m[3].split(info.sep);
>       if (m[4]) {
>         info.query = m[5];
>       }
>       return info;
>     }

and concatenate it again (so it should be rope):

>       case arPathType.URI: {
>         result = (info.scheme + "://" + info.host
>                   + ((info.port !== undefined) ? (":" + info.port) : "")
>                   + info.sep
>                   + info.pathComponents.join(info.sep)
>                   + ((info.query !== undefined) ? ("?" + info.query) : ""));
>         break;
>       }

and pass it to setAttribute of base element:

>     let node = targetDocument.createElement("base");
>     node.setAttribute("href", baseDir);
>     return node;

I haven't yet spotted where the documentURI is passed to some method that uses XPC_WN_CallMethod tho, the documentURI string should be passed to many functions, and in that case this matches to the trace.

So, this should be an issue around dependent string and external string.
I won't be able to work on this shortly.

This is bad. It's possible to create a dependent string with an external string as base string. Then when we flatten the external string, the dependent string still points to the potentially-freed external chars => UAF.

The simplest and safest fix is to call ensureFlat when we create a dependent string and the base string is external. JIT code can also create dependent strings so I had to fix these places too to take the slow path.

I also changed AutoStableStringChars to call ensureFlat if the string is external.

The right long-term fix is to remove flat strings (bug 1330776) so this whole problem goes away.

I see CreateDependentString::generate in nightly, which is only used by PrepareAndExecuteRegExp. So it might be okay. But can we put some debug assertions in there that just to be sure. That people don't start reusing that code?
Thanks for the quick action and I also hope we can spin a new FF52 release? Pwn2own is starting 15th of March!
Attachment #8846672 - Flags: review?(hv1989) → review+
From what I hear pwn2own uses a VM that they prepare beforehand. It's not impossible we could get a dot release out the door before the 15th, but they have likely already made and distributed their VM with 52.0 on it.

Looks good.  I'm not 100% confident that, in auditing the existing code *not* changed by this patch, everything is copacetic.  But I guess that's at least part of why multiple people are looking.

We don't know when they do that. Could be the morning of the conference; more likely it's earlier but I don't know how much earlier. But there's also a check after the contestant "wins" where the dev team could show the bug is already fixed which can affect the amount won by the contestant, though not the headlines that Firefox got pwned.
I don't think we should try to rush a point release for this when we know we'll almost certainly have to do one at the end of the week. Our own fuzzers haven't found this regression in the past month so we can hope the contest participants already had their exploit in the bag and didn't find it either. If that turns out to be a bad guess we can be sad, but at least it will make shipping a fix that much faster. Either way we should include this fix in that release because I'd hate to land the fix and have it sit in the tree for weeks.
Sure, I didn't mean we should rush a point release for this before pwn2own, but since there will almost certainly be one later this week it's good to have a patch ready.

This adds some debug-only code to CreateDependentString::generate to check the string is not a rope or an external string.

[Security approval request comment]
> How easily could an exploit be constructed based on the patch?
Not too difficult I'm afraid. What helps a little is that JS strings are immutable and I *think* an attacker could use this UAF to read memory but not to write it (but it's bad anyway of course).

Unlikely. It could regress memory usage or performance a bit in some cases but I don't expect it to be noticeable.

Unfortunately web content *can* create external strings. When JS calls a DOM API that returns a string it's usually an external string..
