Public bug reported: If I place a large favicon.ico on a local server, and then browse to the local site with Midori, I'll be greeted with the webpage, and then a short time later a segfault.
Should be fairly easy to reproduce - set up Apache on localhost and create a random favicon.ico - I used a 1.6GB file cd /var/www/html/ dd if=/dev/urandom of=favicon.ico bs=1024 count=1600000 Browse to http://localhost and you should get a segfault. Suggest limiting the size of favicon.ico that will be grabbed to a very small size - <100KB would be fine, considering most favicon are < 10KB in size anyhow, there's really no reason to be grabbing a large favicon from a remote site. This is using latest Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS , Midori 0.5.11-ds1-2 Cheers, Blair ** Affects: midori (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618658 Title: malformed /oversize favicon.ico causes segfault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/midori/+bug/1618658/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
