Crash Data

This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-d7d5b176-a9eb-451f-9621-5186a2120505 .
============================================================= 

Seen while looking through FF 13 B2 crashes. This crash has been around since much earlier releases, but has increased in volume since Firefox 11 - https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?signature=nsFileInputStream::Read%28char*,%20unsigned%20int,%20unsigned%20int*%29.

I will try to hunt down some manual correlations between the various versions. Haven't found anything useful yet in the comments.

Crash Signature: [@ nsFileInputStream::Read(char*, unsigned int, unsigned int*)] → [@ nsFileInputStream::Read(char*, unsigned int, unsigned int*) ]
OS: Windows NT → Windows 7
URLs are not of much help here:

28 	about:sessionrestore
20 	about:home
3 	about:blank

In Beta 5 data with a little over a million ADUs this is the #21 top crash.
URLs in Comment 2 are from betas, I can get some more from the other branches if that helps.
Are we still looking at release top crash lists as part of crash-kill? This is also a top crasher (#19) on FF12 now, so very unlikely to be a regression in FF13.

Still needs to be addressed, but it must be an external issue.
Michal - can you come up with some more information about this crash?

This is yet another windows only crash that ends up in PR_Read or PR_Write. I know about #741179, #656758, #572011, #597260, #721196 but there are probably others. There are lot of different back traces in this bug, but for example the following one is easy to verify:

https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/36a8855c-fe35-455d-bbf5-dba9b2120606
0 		@0x9b39702b 	
1 	xul.dll 	nsFileInputStream::Read 	netwerk/base/src/nsFileStreams.cpp:367
2 	xul.dll 	nsJSONListener::OnDataAvailable 	dom/src/json/nsJSON.cpp:654
3 	xul.dll 	nsJSON::DecodeInternal 	dom/src/json/nsJSON.cpp:512

There is a char array on the stack in nsJSONListener::OnDataAvailable() that is passed to nsFileInputStream::Read() and then to PR_Read(). From the code it is obvious that we can neither pass a wrong pointer nor an invalid buffer size to PR_Read().

With regard to comment 13 in bug #656758, I tend to believe that all these crashes are caused by some virus. I couldn't find any statistics that would tell me which MBR viruses are most active these days. If we had some most common viruses we could try to reproduce the crash with an infected VM. Could we officially ask some antivirus company for a help with this issue?
in 4 weeks, only one crash [1] newer than version 13 [2].
WFM?
