Title:
Firefox crashes when opening a page containing an M4A audio source
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Ubuntu: 12.04.4
Firefox: 27.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (also confirmed with 26.0, 28.0a2 and
29.0a2)
Firefox consistently crashes when opening a page that contains a HTML5
audio element with an M4A source, or attempting to play an M4A stream
(e.g. podcast) via an audio player widget that creates such an element
on the fly.
To reproduce, open the attached test case HTML or go here and click
the "Play" button: http://johnaugust.com/podcast

Note: while this is fixed in the latest Firefox Nightly (30.a01), I
can't find a bug report on Bugzilla specifically referencing this
issue, locate the commit that implemented the fix, or find any
indication that the fix will be backported. In the meantime, it
presents a rather trivial way to accidentally or maliciously crash
Firefox.
