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
