This is a followup to bug 455070, which was partially backed out in bug 495112 because it casused bug 494502 and bug 494805. The change in bug 455070 that caused the problems was to make sessionStorage compare principals instead of string origins, so this bug is about fixing the that remaining aspect of bug 455070.

You wanted to say "compare principals instead of string domains". And it mainly caused bug 494543 (and its duplicate bug 494810).
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Summary: Make sessionStorage use principals instead of string origins. → Make sessionStorage use principals instead of string domains.
Since we need to serialize the sessionStorage objects (as part of session restore), I wonder if the correct thing to do is actually to use strings, but store domain+scheme+port instead of just domain. And definitely use principal->GetURI, not principal->GetDomain!

This is more a preview of my approach to fix this. I do subsumes on subject's principal and not on the principal we demand the storage for, the same is done when accessing sessionStorage attributes. When Subsumes fails I do security check of the URIs to bypass the domain change. We could add call to piStorage->GetPrincipal()->Equals(aPrincipal); to check we really provide storage to the correct principal. But then when it fails we have do security check of the uris as well. This doesn't introduce the session store regression, no need for patch for bug 494543.

So what exactly is the point of the CanAccess check in nsDocShell::GetSessionStorageForPrincipal? Why do we care what the subject is?
Why is |origin| in that function not nsXPIDLCString?
Why are you checking URIs if Subsumes() returned error? Error there should mean you return false, in my opinion.
This patch makes session storage from signed jars accessible to unsigned pages on the same host and vice versa. Is that desirable? It can also lead to weird results if we introduce new classes of principals, because you're making assumptions about how GetURI on two principals should relate them. It might make more sense to have versions of Subsumes() and Equals() that ignore document.domain...

We do care because we don't want to allow a page access the sessionStorage object of a page with a different origin, primarily, and allow access to any page's sessionStorage for system principal. The approach in the patch fixes the session restore problem, bug 494543.

As you suggested, I changed nsIPrincipal interface to have two more methods: subsumesIgnoreDomain and equalsIgnoreDomain. Doesn't need more explanation.

That doesn't answer my question. When that code was written, last I looked at it, it was a belt-and-suspenders check. That's why it asserted if it failed! In other words, it was just verifying that some other code has functioned correctly and prevented access if it needs to be prevented. It was doing so because we did not fully trust the other code and were rushing things in for reasons that I think were stupid.
So the questions that I have, and that I keep asking (though with the assumption that you know what the code was doing and what GetSubjectPrincipal does, which might be a wrong assumption), and that you never answer are:
1) Did something about the other check change so that we trust it even less?
If not, should we just be removing this check and making sure the other
check actually works?
2) If we think a check here is required, are we sure that all C++ callers of
this API really act on behalf of the subject principal?
Basically, any GetSubjectPrincipal call is an automatic red flag for me unless it's happening _very_ close to the place where we'd enter code from JS. Ideally in the JS-to-C++ translation layer. Any time we have it in code callable from C++, we have the potential for really nasty bugs.

If "the other check" == "check when accessing properties" then NO.

We should remove it (as you propose it). The other check is sufficient.

From bug 458091 comment 27 by Dave Camp:
'I added the CanAccess() assertion because I wanted it to be a bit more clear
that there are implicit security implications of that mStorages hash key.
There should be no case where CanAccess() returns false, because the hash key
should be unique to the set of people that can access that storage.'
So, I propose the other suggestion of mine, which is to extract the existing sessionStorage principal and do EqualsIgnoreDomain check against the principal we demand the storage for.

Understanding of what? GetSubjectPrincipal assumes that the most-recently-called JS function represents "who" is doing the action. Any time that assumption is false, you get problems.
Looking at the patch now.

So why is the change from asciiHost to host ok here? I'd think this would cause a problem (and that we should have tests to catch this problem). Same at the other place where you make this change.

And do we sometimes set mStorage->mSecurityChecker to something other than |this|?

Good question. Should we have something like a new method nsIPrincipal.asciiOrigin ?

Yes, exactly to EqualsIgnoreDomain. The reason is actually described here (see also comment 8)
From bug 458091 comment 27 by Dave Camp:
'I added the CanAccess() assertion [now altered directly by Equals()] because I wanted it to be a bit more clear
that there are implicit security implications of that mStorages hash key [now origin string].
There should be no case where CanAccess() [now Equals()] returns false, because the hash key
should be unique to the set of people that can access that storage.'
The origin string used to map items in the hash table is an implicit security check. This check is double checked by checking the principal a storage was demanded for really is the principal for which that storage was originally created. Originally, the check was hidden in the CanAccess method but it's implementation has changed.

>
It reverts security checking to nsDOMStorage2 implementation. See bug 494805 to explain the mSecurityChecker member and bug 495112 why it was assigned mStorage and not |this|. In a nut shell: mSecurityChecker is there because nsDOMStorage2 wraps nsDOMStorage that is doing all security checks. But nsDOMStorage2 implements CanAccess method a different way. mSecurityChecker allows nsDOMStorage to get knowledge of nsDOMStorage2 implementation (through nsPIDOMStorage interface).
> And do we sometimes set mStorage->mSecurityChecker to something other than
> |this|?
When nsDOMStorage is initiated as globalStorage, mSecurityChecker is assign nsDOMStorage instance (not nsDOMStorage2) as it is using mapping and security check per domain, not per origin; it actually preserve the original implementation before localStorage has been introduced.

Aha! Can we add that as a comment in the code?

Comment 15•15 years ago

Rather than making a new asciiOrigin, is there a problem if we just make GetOrigin() return ascii? It's [noscript] so addons aren't using it, and I don't see any callers in our code either except in nsPrincipal.cpp itself. Which seems odd, I'm sure there used to be some.
if nsIPrincipal is unfrozen, would it make more sense to add an argument to subsumes and equals than to add two completely new (and ugly named) methods?

We should fix this bug in one of next major releases after Firefox 4. Also needs feedback from web developers.
Comment 17•14 years ago

Hi folks,
Note that the current behavior is not just a spec conformance issue, but also a security problem.
Specifically, you currently permit HTTP pages to inject properties into HTTPS contexts if they are first to the party (HTTPS -> HTTP throws an exception); and to add insult to injury, if these are later modified in the HTTPS context, they remain accessible to HTTP.
This is a very big deal for HTTPS-only applications that want to resist MITM attackers on open wifi, etc.

(In reply to Johnny Stenback (:jst, jst@mozilla.com) from comment #18)
> Honza, are you still planning to continue this work?
Last time we broke a lot of sites. There were voices to leave the code as it because many sites use document.domain and interchange values between http and https. We can reopen the discussion and get some consensus. From my modest point of view with experience in evangelism I don't expect it to happen.
So we probably may close this bug as WONTFIX. Maybe there will be negative response to that :)
I'm not sure I understand what the implications of this bug are.
The sessionStorage object is specific to a given webpage and it's siblings in the back/forward history, right? How it behaves should be irrelevant of changes to document.domain.
Comment 21•13 years ago
|
||
This bug is a vulnerability in sessionStorage because it allows active network attackers to compromise the sessionStorage used by HTTPS sites.. Other browsers (for example, those that use WebKit) don't have this vulnerability. The longer Firefox waits to fix this vulnerability, the more compatibility pain there will be.
Assignee | ||
Comment 22•13 years ago
|
||
As maintainer of the code I will check what other browsers do. This bug is also about violating the HTML5 spec, AFAIK.
Comment 23•13 years ago
|
||
Correct. By violating the spec, you've created a security vulnerability. I can re-file the issue under Security if that would be helpful.
i'm still not understanding the behavioral difference here. Would love to have that written up in a comment we can point to in the whiteboard.
Comment 25•13 years ago
|
||
Here's the exploit:
Setup: An HTTPS site (say https://example.org/) uses sessionStorage and wishes that data to have confidentiality and integrity from active network attackers.
1) The user visits an HTTP web site in the presence of an active network attacker.
2) The active network attacker intercepts that request and redirects it to http://example.org/.
3) The active network attacker intercepts that request and spoofs the following response:
<script>
document.domain = 'example.org';
sessionStorage.setItem('foo', 'haxored');
</script>
4) The integrity of the sessionStorage at https://example.org has now been compromised. For example, consider the page https://example.org/alert-foo.html:
<script>
alert(sessionStorage.getItem('foo'));
</script>
This page will alert "haxored" even though that string was provided by an active network attacker.
This attack does not work in Chrome, Safari, or Opera; I haven't tested IE. The HTML5 specification forbids this behavior.

The record of site-break bugs:
- bug 494543 (dell.com) because it changes document.domain and principal check doesn't pass in our session store code ; it has been decided to *not* map sessionStorage by the effective origin in bug 494799 comment 11
- bug 494723 (tvguide.com) the same issue as on dell.com
- bug 494810 ; unfortunately I didn't make a note how to reproduce that bug
See a simple test case to reproduce the document.domain issue: bug 494799 comment 3 and 4.
I still need to figure out my note from bug 494543 comment 36, the https pages issue.
Other step is to check the test case with other browsers.

Do these sites work in other browsers? My understanding is that all the other browsers follow the specification in this regard.
Comment 30•13 years ago
|
||
Honza, are you intending to fix this so that we will be protected from the attack Adam demonstrated in comment 25? If so, we should file Tech Evangelism bugs ASAP against the major sites (dell.com, tvguide.com) that we know will break, so they can fix their sites before our fix reaches our users. If you think that the type of fix that Adam is suggesting is not right, then we should have a discussion about that right away with the security team, Jonas, and Adam so that we can find some a way to address the security issue and change the spec accordingly.
Comment 31•13 years ago
|
||
I don't mean to pile on here, but I think Adam's point is particularly important.
There are some gnarly security issues related to the lack of HTTPS cookie integrity against a network attacker, but it's too late to do anything about that because that misuses is widespread. We should fix this HTTPS/HTTP "leak" in localStorage before we have a more serious legacy problem, and we don't lose anything since any site that depends on this incorrect behavior will break on other browsers.

Comment 32•13 years ago

BTW: localStorage is not affected by this bug as it is mapped by origin (according the spec). This bug is strictly a sessionStorage issue.

Comment 33•13 years ago

I did some basic tests:
Test 1:
- navigate to sub.test.domain
- set a value of a key
- change document.domain to test.domain (a level up)
- read the value back
Chrome (current): the value is the one previously stored
IE 9: the same behavior as Chrome
Firefox Nightly: the value is 'null'
This happens because we create a whole new instance of window.sessionStorage after document.domain has changed - storage->CanAccess returns false (domains no longer equal) for the current window's principal at [1] and mSessionStorage is then nullified and recreated. There is no exception threw.
Test 2:
- navigate to sub.test.domain
- change document.domain to test.domain (a level up)
- set a value of a key
- navigate to a domain one level up (test.domain) with an anchor in the document
- read the value back
Chrome (current): the value is 'undefined'
IE 9: the same behavior as Chrome
Firefox Nightly: the value is the one set at the third step of the test
Test 3 (most serious):
- navigate to sub.test.domain
- set a value
- navigate to https://sub.test.domain with an anchor in the document
- read the value back
Chrome (current): the value is 'undefined'
IE 9: the same behavior as Chrome
Firefox Nightly: the value is the one set at the second step of the test -> there is a way to inject data
Test 4:
- navigate to https://sub.test.domain
- set a value
- navigate to sub.test.domain (non-secured) with an anchor in the document
- read the value back
Chrome (current): the value is 'undefined'
IE 9: the same behavior as Chrome
Firefox Nightly: the value is 'null' and cannot be modified (we throw a security exception on attempt to that)
All tests show we are probably the last browser that behaves against the spec, we really overslept here! I will now check with Chrome and IE on the regression bugs and if there are no problems (what is very likely), I will test with the missing parts of the fix for bug 455070. If all goes well, we can land it (again).

I don't see what that has to do with jstests.list, forin-002.js, or the conditions in question.

The condition xulRuntime.shell means "the test is running in the shell rather than the browser".
fails-if(!xulRuntime.shell) means "I expect this test to fail when run in the browser, and pass when run in the shell".
> I strongly believe my patch is changing this condition and not the test

Why do you believe that?

I don't see how that follows. If you tell the harness to expect a failure, and the test continues to pass, of course it's going to complain about an unexpected pass.

You can run the test individually in the browser by loading (adjust path to suit):
file:///work/mozilla/builds/nightly/mozilla/js/src/tests/jsreftest.html?test=file:///work/mozilla/builds/nightly/mozilla/js/src/tests/ecma_2%2FStatements%2Fforin-002.js
You'll need to either user a profile with the user.js from the js/src/tests directory or adjust the preferences to allow UniversalXPConnect from the file://
To run a really really old version of the js test suite in the browser you can load:
http://test.bclary.com/tests/mozilla.org/js/js-test-driver-standards.html?test=ecma_2%2FStatements%2Fforin-002.js;language=type;text/javascript
I think the issue in the browser is related to the differences between loading the tests via http: and via the local file:

Looks like the bug reference in the changeset is wrong, sorry:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/4b1f9afcedb1

Thanks for this explanation.

Because my patch from this bug causes to fail tests that are protected by that condition only.
I still don't know, whether |xulRuntime.shell| value changes with my patch or whether the test is what is actually affected.
To figure this out is my next step.

I'm trying to understand how the test harness works here.
Maybe, I'm breaking the same thing the tests had been changed for in http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/4b1f9afcedb1. Only thing I seem to modify that could influence the tests is the change to nsIPrincipal interface.

I can reproduce the test failure locally with python reftest/runreftest.py --appname=../dist/bin/firefox.exe --utility-path=bin --extra-profile-file=bin/plugins --extra-profile-file=jsreftest/tests/us
er.js jsreftest/tests/ecma_2/Statements/jstests.list
(I've extracted the tests to a dir under _obj/_tests/)

The condition is not changed at all.
The "problem" here is, that I'm actually fixing the original reason the tests had been turned to known-failing.
forin-002.js fails on line 87: object[property] == eval(property).
This line (no idea why) invokes windows.sessionStorage. W/o the patch it fails since there is no domain to bound the storage to. With the patch, we have a valid principal and get the mapping key to bound the storage to, so we are not failing to get the storage. The origin key is "file:///.../forin-002.js" what is expected.
So, reverting some of http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/4b1f9afcedb1 is the solution here.
I will update the patch.
