WebKit - 'ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild' Universal Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilit

Here's a snippet of ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild.

void ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild(Node& oldChild)
{
    disconnectSubframesIfNeeded(*this, DescendantsOnly); <<---- (a)
    ...
    document().notifyRemovePendingSheetIfNeeded(); <<---- (b)
}

subframes are detached at (a). But In |notifyRemovePendingSheetIfNeeded| at (b), which fires a focus event, we can attach subframes again.
