RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 55583

People

Details

Javascript sends PHP4-generated content to frame in other window. When trying to view frame-source, a (partly scrambled) directory listing is shown. Apache runs on Solaris. When trying to duplicate the function om my Linux box there is no directory listing but instead the message: <br> <b>Fatal error</b>: input in flex scanner failed in <b>/export/htdocs/DUGA</b> on line <b>1</b><br> Of course I have not checked all platforms but The error is the same whether Mozilla (0.9.8) runs on MacOS X, Win2000 or linux (Mandrake 8.1) Saving frame-content works fine. Unfortunately there'll be no use in exposing the URL since this here environment is shut off from the world. I am working on a simplistic version of the script that will demonstrate the bug.
This should be a dupe of bug 55583 Please reopen if you disagree *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55583 ***

This bug is said to be a dupe of 55583. I can't see why since 55583 is about showing original page source (use cached source) while 128298 is about not showing source at all. Instead it shows a directory listing (of base target I guess) which is intrusionwise potentially dangerous.

The reason this happens is that we refetch the source from the server which then shows us the source of the directory listing page instead of the page that was shown in the frame. This bug would not be present if we did not re-request the document from the server. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55583 ***
