Force session id creation for new sessions #569

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Purpose of code changes on this branch:

Force session id creation for new sessions, i.e. do not use session id stored 
in cookie for new sessions.

Example for current behaviour:
1. someone tries to steal SSP session, i.e. is in possession of victims cookies
2. sends request to SSP with stolen cookies
3. session check function detects session stealing attempt and refuses to load 
victims session
4. new session is created but with the session id from cookie
5. the victims session is overwritten, i.e. victim is actually logged out from 
SSP

With this patch in step 4 is new session id generated, i.e. victims session is 
intact.

When reviewing my code changes, please focus on:

-

After the review, I'll merge this branch into:
/trunk

Can you please extract the code for creating a new session from 
getCookieSessionId() into a new function newSessionId()? That would make the 
code cleaner.
