CrashKill/2014-08-11

General

Previous Action Items

• [Tracy][done] to follow/verify the fix for bug 1039547
• [KaiRo] finish up discussion with relman on prerequisites in approval questionnaire
• [nhirata] follow up to MTBF test; purposeful crash should be obvious crash signature + channel change : add -test-<testsuite> ie -test-MTBF.
• [QA/bsmedberg] surface any issues that may have been missed during work week/PTO for the next meeting or to the list if critical

Flash / Plugins

• Flash 15 Beta is out.

Desktop

• dmajor: We made a code change for the crash at nsINode::OwnerDoc, but that just moved the crash to various SetAttributeNode signatures (see bug 1038243 comment 31). The crash is due to an adware passing us bogus pointers. The app uses dozens of different names and UUID DLLs to avoid detection. Any ideas?
  • The resulting crashes seem to be even higher in volume than the original one, unfortunately, and this includes signatures in other 3rd-party DLLs. This adware sucks big time.
  • Very high volume crash over the weekend. bug 1051858, bug 1051869

Beta

• bug 1038243 is making one bug 1051869 look crashy.
