Ehm, precise is still supported until April 2017. And that bug is still
present in precise. So reopening...

@Axel

agree with you
but there are only two users afected since 2012; none reported against newer 
version than 'precise', meaning that problem is not met and so 'fixed'
as it is not a 'security' problem, 'precise' will not receive a fix for that 
issue; that's why it was set to 'invalid'; swith to 'incomplete' .

Hi,

Probably because it occurs rather seldom, but if it does, it can cause
quite some issues.

Indeed. We only ran into it once. At least there was only once such
incident at our department I'm aware of.

It's not a security problem on the machine, but it caused an security
incident here, because an e-journal provider filed an abuse complaint
at our department and I had to take the affected machine offline until
it was clear that this is "just" a bug and not a malicious (read
"DoS") attack.

So this bug can definitely cause effects that look like a DoS attack
to others.

> swith to 'incomplete' .

"Incomplete" is ok-ish IMHO. Nevertheless, I'd prefer to keep that bug
open at least until precise is gone, too.

Regards, Axel

[Bug 1020244] Re: gvfsd-http loops requesting the same page

[Axel Beckert]

We just ran into an issue with symptoms as described here on Ubuntu
12.04.5 LTS Precise with gvfs-backends 1.12.1-0ubuntu1.2.

gvfsd-http seems to have been started by evince.
