Bug 10213 – REGRESSION: Crash in WebCore::RenderLayer::isTransparent involving <iframe> and <select>

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Jesse Ruderman]

Yesterday's WebKit nightly crashes on this testcase.  The stack trace is a little strange (Crash Reporter gives a bogus second frame) and I don't know why.


Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:      KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000004

Crash log from a debug build:

This test case involves an <iframe> inside an <option>. In an HTML page, the parser would not allow that sort of nesting. But since this is XHTML, we allow anything to go anywhere.

Because the <iframe> is inside an <option>, it ends up without a renderer. The code that crashes is code in RenderView::paintBoxDecorations that assumes that the owner element of a frame is going to have a renderer.

A nil check would suffice to prevent the crash.
