WebKit: UXSS via ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild (2)
Here's a snippet of ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild.
void ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild(Node& oldChild)
{
disconnectSubframesIfNeeded(*this, DescendantsOnly); <<---- (a)
...
document().notifyRemovePendingSheetIfNeeded(); <<---- (b)
}
subframes are detached at (a). But In |notifyRemovePendingSheetIfNeeded| at (b), which fires a focus event, we can attach subframes again.
