279114 - Apparent Shockwave Flash crash [@ NPSWF32.dll + 0x5e0c4 (0x0243e0c4)]

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 200511

(External Software Affecting Firefox Graveyard :: Flash (Adobe), defect)

Description

[Anthony Jenkins]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050118
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050118

Every time I visit the page http://www.sinfest.net:
 the browser begins to load the page and displays a Flash ad,
 goes white over the ad,
 the entire page blanks out.

At this point the browser either sits there or crashes.  If it sits there,
mozilla.exe will not unload when you close the browser.

I've tried a local version of the html file, and it does the same thing.  I'll
attach that file and an Ethereal network capture of the process (including the
Talkback transmission).

From watching the capture in process, the crash appears to happen around packet
284.  Looking at the capture now, the page calls gms1.net (packet 281) and
receives a response (packet 284).  The next non FIN-ACK packet is looking up
talkback.mozilla.org (packet 313).

From about:plugins:
Shockwave Flash

    File name: NPSWF32.dll
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19

This also happened with my last installed build (nightly from 12-23).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit http://www.sinfest.net (or load the attached file)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
browser crashes or page blanks and browser will not unload.

Expected Results:  
normal surfing behavior (display the page).

And now what is the talkback id? I can't find it in the Ethereal log.

Confirming the bug with the 2005-01-20-05 build of Mozilla Seamonkey trunk on
Windows XP.

Can you create a new stacktrace (the TB server has lost its symbols for the
nightly builds between 16th and 18th, that's why the stacktrace looks so
broken)? So at least a function name would be displayed for gkplugin.dll and
xpcom_core.dll

[Anthony Jenkins]

A new talkback has been submitted from the 20 Jan Build...the id is TB3206284W.

Comment 11

[Udo Schuermann]

With Firefox 1.0 on GNU/Linux with "Shockwave Flash 6.0 r79" (libflashplayer.so)
the browser crashes instantly (all tabs, all windows gone); never had it simply
hang on me. Does not happen with all flash content, though.

Comment 12

[Anthony Jenkins]

This occurs for a few (but not all) Keenspot comics, including sinfest.net (of
course), College Roomies From Hell (crfh.net) and some others.  Presumably, this
is because these sites use the same advertising service (falkag.net), which in
turn uses the same advertisers and code to display the advertising (particularly
gms1.net, a BONZI company).

Version and milestone values are being reset to defaults as part of product refactoring.
