Description of problem: firefox keeps crashing Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.0.4 How reproducible: happens frequently for me, but no specific series of steps always produces it. Seems to happen most often when I'm in Mantis bug tracking dialog boxes when I switch workspaces, but I'm not sure if that's just a coincidence. Steps to Reproduce: 1. ? 2. 3. Actual results: crashes with message: *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.4/firefox-bin terminated Expected results: doesn't crash. Additional info:
I am receiving this error but in php running as fastcgi in lighttpd *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/php-cgi terminated *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/php-cgi terminated version -> php-5.2.3-1.fc7
Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. Thanks in advance.
We haven't got any reply to the last question about reproducability of the bug with Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7, or Fedora devel. Mass closing this bug, so if you have new information that would help us fix this bug, please reopen it with the additional information.
I saw a problem with the same signature in fc6 several times. I haven't confirmed that the stack smashing was what caused the crashes, but I've seen firefox die for no good reason while editing a trac wiki page.
