           Summary: SecurityOrigin::copy does not copy m_domainWasSetInDOM
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4

          Severity: Normal

The new SecurityOrigin::copy method does not copy m_domainWasSetInDOM when
making a copy of the security origin.  This does not appear to be exploitable
currently, but could lead to two classes of bugs:

1) A document sets its document.domain and then tries to access an object that
uses a copy() of its SecurityOrigin.  It can not access the document because
that document's origin has forgotten that it had set its domain property.

2) A malicious document from foo.example.com could set its document.domain
property to example.com, then transfer control to an object that uses a copy()
of its security origin.  Once there, it could script example.com.

The copy() method also does not copy m_noAccess, which could lead to similar
attacks using data: URLs.
