160427 - Mozilla crash with Real One plug-in (testcase provided)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 104599

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P1)

Description

[Arun Ranganathan]

Since RealOne/RealPlayer 8 don't handle *rm files (they should, IMHO), having an
'embed' tag's 'src' attribute point to *rm files causes the Plugin Finder
Service to get invoked.  BUT, having an embed tag's src attribute point to *rpm
file, which RealPlayer DLLs (nppl3260.dll) DOES handle causes a CRASH on recent
branch builds :-(
Try markup of this kind -- it should cause a crash :
<EMBED NAME=javademo
	SRC="test.rpm"
	width=220 height=180
	CONSOLE=one
	CONTROLS=ImageWindow
	BACKGROUNDCOLOR=red
	CENTER=true>
</EMBED>

Whether test.rpm really exists or not is not relevant :-(

Since it crashes, setting "upped" priority.  Note that 'about:plugins' suggests
that rpm files *are* supposed to be handled, thus making this crash most
unfortunate (e.g. we counsel people to use *rpm in lieu of *rm, but crash!)

Arun, what is your test case?
any TB reports?

Comment 4

[rubydoo123]

Arun: I do not crash either, in fact I get the plug-in are displayed with the
Real logo. I am testing on win98, using the branch bits from 20020731 and Real
6.0.8.1024

[Arun Ranganathan]

A-ha!  OK, try installing the free RealOne player.  Maybe that's it!  Because
I'm not using RealPlayer 8, but rather RealOne, which as you all know will phase
out RealPlayer 8.  So... IF *only* RealOne crashes, this is good news (in a bad
way) because it means the problem is theirs to analyze.

testcase works just fine on real8 and the latest drop from real( test build) on 
yesterday's build. no crash for me on NT

Comment 7

[shrirang khanzode]

uhoh, noticed one other thing, tho, with this 'new drop' , I see a HANG on 
cbsnews.com videos(realplayer version 6.0.11.744) . This *does not* happen with 
the realOne downloaded from real's websitesite, the free realOne, (6.0.10.505).  
Could anyone confirm ? I did not file a bug since it might be a problem with 
REAL and not us...

Comment 8

[Arun Ranganathan]

*sigh* Don't know how I got the crash to happen, but it's happening regularly
for me. I'll generate Talk Back if possible. 

Comment 9

[shrirang khanzode]

I filed a bug in bugscape for the cbsnews video problem.

ok, I installed teh RealOne app (the free download) from real.com and then
loaded the testcase and I most certainly crash. But remember, Real8 does not crash.

I will attach the crash log

stack trace shows crash occurs in RealOne nppl3260.dll,
borrowing summary from bug 160614

Comment 15

[av (gone)]

I could not reproduce it with yesterdays branch build. I built both debug and
optimized, also installed RealOne fresh using those builds to rule out possible
installations problems. Are there any specific steps I need to do to see the crash?

Comment 16

[serge (gone)]

nothing specific, just click on the link. 
did you try the teast case
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=93656&action=view
from bug 160614?

Comment 17

[av (gone)]

Works for me. Am I using the right branch? Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020805 Or maybe platforrm? I am on XP.

Comment 18

[serge (gone)]

which jre are you using?

Comment 19

[rubydoo123]

Arun: since this is crashing in the RealOne application, I am sending this over
to you.

minusing for now until we have reproducible case

By the definitions on <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html#severity> and
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided>, crashing and dataloss
bugs are of critical or possibly higher severity.  Only changing open bugs to
minimize unnecessary spam.  Keywords to trigger this would be crash, topcrash,
topcrash+, zt4newcrash, dataloss.
