Description Michael Catanzaro 2015-06-19 13:29:05 PDT
WebPageProxy::didCommitLoadForFrame decides whether to throw a security warning if the certificate chain includes a SHA1 certificate, but does so only for the main resource. Subresources are ignored. That's not good: the overall security of the page should be determined by the security of the least-secure subresource.

We should probably replace the second parameter to PageLoadState::didCommitLoad (which should only be called for the main resource) with a new PageLoadState member function for this.

No need for a new function; there is already PageLoadState::didDisplayOrRunInsecureContent.

The patch is really simple so I think it is safe, but note that this is Mac-specific functionality and I don't have a Mac.

When hasInsecureCertificateChain was false, this was the code that would reset the hasInsecureContent flag in the page load state when navigating from an “insecure content” page to a “secure” page.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebPageProxy.cpp:2949
> +        m_pageLoadState.didDisplayOrRunInsecureContent(transaction);

This is no substitute for that, because it only changes the state from “secure” to “insecure”.

Good catch, thanks! I was thinking that during the course of one load, we would never want to change the state from insecure to secure, but of course we need to do so for subsequent loads.

The easy fix to my patch is to reset the state to false in didCommitLoad, but that would be more fragile than the current code since the correctness would depend on the order the PageLoadState functions are called inside WebPageProxy::didCommitLoadForFrame. So we should keep the parameter and just rename it to something more accurate. It's hard to think of a good name though, so let's punt that to bug #146157.

I think I understand this comment, but I am not sure what motivates adding it here now. Doing so doesn’t seem to be directly related to fixing the bug.
