In the for loop (starting on line 402) "state.dequant_tables[qti][pli][qi]" is wrong and should read: "state.dequant_tables[qi][pli][qti]":

 406        _dec->state.dequant_tables[qi][pli][qti][24]<<(pli==0);

Thanks for the report. Fix committed upstream in r18268. I'll get a patch landed on inbound as soon as I get off the plane I just got on.

Fix pp_sharp_mod calculation v2

[Approval Request Comment]
Regression caused by (bug #): 507554

User impact if declined: Crash on any page with a Theora file if the browser is compiled with gcc 4.8.0 or later.

Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): Landed on try and m-i, test results greenish:
https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=f9bedd41b1e4
https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Mozilla-Inbound&rev=81eed0782699

Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky):
Low. The calculations affected here are never used, because we don't enable libtheora's post-processing filters.

String changes made by this patch: None.

mats: I'm not sure this really needs to be security-sensitive. The invalid accesses here are only reads, not writes, and the result of the calculation is never used, so I don't think this can trigger anything more than a DoS. Even if I'm wrong, we aren't using a gcc this recent on any official builds, and even the most minimal release testing should uncover this problem (just running the media tests we already have should be sufficient to trigger it).

[Triage Comment]
Very low risk of there being any user visible regressions from this patch, so we'll approve for Aurora and Beta.

That being said, adding qawanted to make sure we test the patch once it's landed.
Keywords: qawanted
Keywords: checkin-needed
Removing qawanted as we'll test this as part of our normal verifications. Is there a testcase we can use for this?

We don't have anything in the test suite. The file from the original crash report is http://ia700707.us.archive.org/20/items/Eisenstein-October/Oktyabr1927.ogv
That should work, thanks Ralph.

No crash with a normal Firefox build, but I understand this only occurred with a 4.8.0 compiled Firefox.

Is there a Firefox build anyone could point me to without requiring to compile Firefox with gcc 4.8.0?
Spoke with Ralph and he said you need to build Firefox with GCC 4.8 to reproduce the crash. He's going to get a build going now but it will take some time to build.
I wasn't able to get a copy of gcc 4.8 built today to confirm the issue is resolved for ff13, but the risk is low: we're confident in the patch, no problems have been seen since commit, and 4.8 is an unreleased compiler.
Thanks for the effort, Ralph. Marking this [qa-] indicating that we won't be exerting anymore effort trying to verify this bug. We're still open to verifying this if it becomes more necessary and easier to verify.

Confirmed for firefox 13.

I built this morning's mozilla-release tree hg rev 92659:55ba50a35fd9 with yesterday's gcc 4.8 git rev e8802ff73608.

Playing the indicated video works with the the build, and segfaults if I reverse-apply the patch. So the fix is both valid and needed in ff 13.
Thank you very much Ralph!
Same result for firefox 14 beta, built with gcc 4.8 from mozilla-beta hg rev 95980:206e57393758.
Thanks Ralph.
