WebKit - 'ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild' Universal Cross-Site Scripting

EDB-ID: 42065
Author: Google Security Research

CVE: N/A
Type: Webapps
Platform: Multiple

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.
