277735 - Segfault when default font has wrong privileges

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 183729

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[David Palm]

Using firefox 1.0, debian unstable (x86), xorg 6.8.1 I have experienced
segfaults in the following situation:
- login as normal user
- start ff
   - normal web navigation works fine
   - visit a remote XUL page with a textbox input field (<xul:textbox/>)
   - at first keypress ff segafults

Starting ff as root, everything works fine.
Using strace I could se two open() calls for the default font in
/usr/local/share/fonts. The font file had the following privs set: "-rw-r-----".
Changing that to "-rw-r--r--" everything solves the problem.

Still, FF should not segfault when user set default font is not available.
