Overly Trusted Location Variant Method Cache Vulnerability
[Tested]
IEXPLORE.EXE file version 6.0.2800.1106
MSHTML.DLL file version 6.00.2800.1400
Microsoft Windows XP sp1
[Discussion]
Apparently, Internet Explorer trusts the location variant way too much when it comes to method
cache. As Thor Larholm pointed out to me, it isnt a problem of similar method name redirection,
but a problem with the location variant. I have created a new vulnerability to demonstrate this.
EvilChild creates a child popup on a new window. Then it redirects the page. As it's loading,
the popup is shown and saves the ref of parent.window.open to location.cache. As soon as the
evil child popup cannot access the parent.document, an error handler is fired calling
parent.window.open to load javascript into the main window.
