542686 - Block YSlow v. 2.0.5 for Fx 3.5 and 3.6

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Blocklist Policy Requests, defect)

Description

[Damon Sicore (:damons)]

Need to block version 2.0.5 of this addon:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5369

Version 2.0.5 has caused a massive spike in multiple crashes, currently 2.4% of all crashes are caused by this addon.  Need to block it immediately.

Please call me if there are any questions.

Going to just hard block yslow 2.0.5 for Firefox versions > 3.5.7.

Comment 2

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Are we blocking everything below 2.0.5 too or just that version specifically?

Comment 3

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

I'll block 2.0.5 for now and expand it later if we need to.

Resulting blocklist XML:
    <emItem id="[e-mail]">
      <versionRange minVersion=" 2.0.5" maxVersion="2.0.5">
        <targetApplication id="{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}">
           <versionRange minVersion="3.5.7" maxVersion="*"/>
        </targetApplication>
      </versionRange>
    </emItem>

Query:
INSERT INTO `blitems` (`guid`, `min`, `max`) 
VALUES ('[e-mail]', '2.0.5', '2.0.5');
INSERT INTO `blapps` (`blitem_id`, `guid`, `min`, `max`) VALUES ((SELECT MAX(id) FROM blitems), '{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}', '3.5.7', '*');

This was run and is in production now:

I'll push the mozilla.com blocklist info.

[Justin Scott [:fligtar]]

Did we tell the YSlow team we were doing this?

Comment 7

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

It's a known issue.  Mike, Mike or Damon can answer about outreach though.

Comment 8

[Justin Scott [:fligtar]]

Yeah, I know it's a known issue, and have been on the email thread with the developers about it. I'm wondering if there is another thread where we discussed this with them, since it wasn't on the one I'm on.

Comment 9

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Yeah, I know you know it's a known issue and I'm pretty sure they talked to them about it.

Comment 10

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Mike/Damon -- did we let them know, or is this just your decision from a Firefox perspective?

Comment 11

[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

(Might need to call him, per comment 0.)

(In reply to comment #4)
>       <versionRange minVersion=" 2.0.5" maxVersion="2.0.5">

Is the space in the minVersion attribute harmful?

Comment 13

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

Ah, it's auto-generated. Nevermind.

Comment 14

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Shouldn't be there -- will take a look.
