This issue is being watched upstream by these bugs https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271716 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271718 This issue will naturally affect ephiphany, which uses the mozilla rendering engine.
This issue also affects FC2
The Mozilla Software Foundation do not in general treat simple unexploitable crashes of a browser as a security issues. Removing security severity. (open another bug for ephiphany if affected)
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Looks like fixed in 1.7.13
