Package: mozilla Version: 2:1.7.8-1sarge3 Mozilla crashes when loading a gif that has 11160 columns. This gif occurs in the wild in certain web pages from wunderground.com. Here is a transcript that shows that the gif has 11160 columns and that mozilla crashes when loading it:
# download copy of offending gif to local file bigbad.gif $ wget icons.wunderground.com/graphics/360arrows-r-nogray.gif -O bigbad.gif $ md5sum bigbad.gif e62a1070bd11487709acb7417b7f2640 bigbad.gif $ file bigbad.gif bigbad.gif: GIF image data, version 89a, 11160 x 31 $ du -h bigbad.gif 80K bigbad.gif $ /usr/bin/mozilla http://icons.wunderground.com/graphics/360arrows-r-nogray.gif 2>&1 The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 1879 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Presumably any similarly shaped gif would cause the same behavior, but if the remote version of the gif changes and you would like a copy of my local version, please specify how I should send it (e.g., as an attachment or uuencoded). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
