Renderer process crash: Terminating renderer for bad IPC message, reason 95

[hkaya]

Hi,

I'm seeing a strange renderer crash after upgrading from 0.24 to 0.36. I confirmed the same behavior on 0.36.1, 0.36.4 and 0.37.0 sdk builds.

Webview processes that make XHR requests are crashing with the following error message:

[92800:92808:0305/145204.806109:ERROR:bad_message.cc(27)] Terminating renderer for bad IPC message, reason 95

The issue is almost identical to #6197, except changing accessible_resources doesn't help in my case.

Here is a test app I use to reproduce the issue: https://gist.github.com/hkaya/b938a6263899a5b5aac01860841a52dd

You need to update this line: https://gist.github.com/hkaya/b938a6263899a5b5aac01860841a52dd#file-index-html-L9

Thank you!

The crash is due to file:// url cannot be used in origin header of CORS request:

https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/content/browser/loader/resource_dispatcher_host_impl.cc?sq=package:chromium&g=0&l=2185

It will work If the code is changed to chrome-extension URL in line 16 by simply using 'id' rather than 'base + id'.

Thank you for quickly getting back to me Roger. This makes sense however I still think that file:// origins should be allowed especially since I’m setting the disable-web-security flag. This behavior also prevents loading webpages from another directory.

@hkaya you are right. I'll fix this under that flag. Thanks.

This is fixed in git and will be available in the next nightly build.

@rogerwang the fix is working. Thank you!
