Comment #6 on issue 13564 by [email protected]: NPAPI Chrome crash -
STRINGZ_TO_NPVARIANT
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13564
Please take a look at the spec at
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/NPN_InvokeDefault
On return from this function the browser is supposed to use the
NPN_ReleaseVariantValue API to free the memory. If the plugin uses strdup
it is going
to use the CRT allocator in the plugin dll, which the browser does not have
access
to. So it is basically freeing invalid memory. I verified that Safari
crashes too.
Firefox does not crash because they don't free if they did not allocate the
memory,
which they did not in this case. However it basically means that the plugin
is
leaking memory.
Marking this as wont fix.
