[gentoo-user] mozilla-firefox-1.0.8 \w xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7 problem

[Matthias Langer]

recently my sister descovered a strange and serious bug with
mozilla-firefox-1.0.8 in combination with xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7. After
visiting
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=36939781
xorg shuts down immediatly direct access to the box via the terminal is
impossible. logging in remotley via ssh still works ...

can anyone with the above combination verify this ?

Thanks,
Matthias

Yep. Killed my X too. I have these same versions of xorg and firefox.
Fortunately I got a kdm login prompt again. The only relevant messages I 
could find in the logs:

# cat /var/log/messages
...
May 26 01:10:39 baikal kdm[11220]: X server for display :0 terminated 
unexpectedly
...

# cat /var/log/kdm.log
...
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x096128c0 ***
...

You probably should file a bug.
Please post to the list if you have any new info on the subject.

I've now filed a bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134373

If you are experiencing the same behavour, please post a comment on that
bug including 'emerge --info', use-flag combinations for xorg-x11 and
firefox and relevant log entries.

Thanks,
Matthias

I've just tried to open the link above with flash plugin disabled
and the page is gone:

Invalid Friend ID.
This user has either cancelled their membership, or their account has 
been deleted.

You should probably keep your sister's page intact as a test case.

That's what i feared. With that page gone (this wasn't the page of my
sister) it might be nearly impossible to reproduce this bug.

Shoot. That's a pity.
I still think there's a problem with either flash or sound.
Next time then.

Does the Google cached page do the same thing? Hurry up and get it, I
don't know how long google's gonna have it up ;)


http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:PlfW7wO2VaEJ:profile.myspace.com/index.cfm%3Ffuseaction%3Duser.viewprofile%26friendid%3D36939781+&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=firefox-a

My guess is it has something to do with the flash mp3 player on their page
(I see nothing else out of the ordinary). It comes from
http://www.myspacegeeks.com/myspace-generators/flash-mp3-player/ - that
page may/should kill everything as well if that was the problem.

I had no problems with anything freezing up on Windows, but firefox would
no longer type after having that window open for a few moments. It could
have been something else I did, but the behavior stopped after I closed
the profile.

Thanks for sharing this information. For myself, i don't think that it
is worth the effort to go back to 1.0.8 from 1.5.0.3 as i heard that
this may lead to problems; besides, i've allready verified that i can
reproduce the bug. It would be most valuable if anyone else here with an
appropriate system could give these pages a try and post to bug 134373.

Alexander, as you are the only one so far that can verify this bug, can
you post "about:plugins" to
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134373 ?

Hi Matthias,
I posted my system config as you requested.
But I can't reproduce this bug with the cached page.
MP3 Flash player seems to be working except I can't load/play
some songs from the list.
I don't have any popups I had with the real page either.
So it probably was one of the ads?

Well, too bad - possible that the page was removed for a good
reason :-). Maybe you want to add yourself to 'CC' for bug 134373 (just
select 'Add to CC list' below 'Additional Comments:' and hit <enter>).
There's a message from spyderous that is most likely targeted at you ...

Thanks for your efforts,
Matthias
