[Bug 1279001] Re: Firefox crashes when opening a page containing an audio element with an M4A file

[chocolateboy]

** Attachment added: "GDB backtrace (Firefox 27.0)"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1279001/+attachment/3977455/+files/gdb_backtrace.txt

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu: 12.04.4
  Firefox: 27.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (also confirmed with 26.0, 28.0a2 and 29.0a2)
  
  Firefox consistently crashes when opening a page that contains a HTML5
  audio element with an M4A source, or attempting to play an M4A stream
  (e.g. podcast) via an audio player widget that creates such an element
  on the fly.
  
  To reproduce, open the attached test case HTML or go here and click the
  "Play" button: http://johnaugust.com/podcast

  Note: while this is fixed in the latest Firefox Nightly (30.a01), I
  can't find a bug report on Bugzilla specifically referencing this issue,
  locate the commit that implemented the fix, or find any indication that
  the fix will be backported. In the meantime, it presents a rather
  trivial way to accidentally or maliciously crash Firefox.
