Bug 182409 – REGRESSION (r222824): UI process crashes in WebKit::WebBackForwardList::backItem const

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

The UI process crashes in WebKit::WebBackForwardList::backItem const during a programmatic back navigation.

In a Debug build, this assertion in WebKit::WebBackForwardList::goToItem fires instead:

        ASSERT(targetIndex != notFound);

The debug assertion crash is due to a typo in a for loop that causes `targetIndex` to be left at the value -1, which then causes unsigned integer overflow using checked arithmetic (resulting in the release crash):
