Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.11-1
Severity: important
Tags: security

(Tagging security because at a minimum this represents a remote DoS.)

Iceweasel crashes with a BadAlloc on www.howtoforge.com.  No special
action needed to reproduce; just go to that site and wait for
Iceweasel to crash.  This occurs even in safe mode.  The terminal
output shows:

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 25957 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.)
