Summary Silence preference write sandbox violations in the WebContent process
Per Arne Vollan
Reported 2020-03-31 06:56:38 PDT
When CFPrefs direct mode is enabled in the WebContent process, the UI process will notify the WebContent about preference changes. When receiving these notifications, the WebContent process will use the CFPrefs API to update the value of these preferences in-process, which will also attempt to write these values to disk. Writing the preference values to disk is unnecessary, and will also be denied by the sandbox, so the sandbox violations should be silenced.

Thanks for reviewing!
