Bug 32704 – Crash with QWebPluginFactory plugins replacing NPAPI plugins

• Component: WebKit Qt
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

Test case

Hi

I'm currently building a web browser that has to be protected from the user : the user should not be able to access the local file system for instance. In order to do this, plugins for instance must be disabled (except Flash).
When I do that using a custom QWebPluginFactory that returns a widget in every case, I get a crash on windows with the acrobat reader plugin.
You can check this behaviour with the attached source file.


How to reproduce the problem :
- launch the test case
- search "PDF example"
- click on the first link, a simple PDF file.

Without the acrobat reader plugin, there is no crash because the PDF file is considered as unsupported content.

Thanks
 Pierre

Test case - fixed compilation...

Sorry, I messed a bit with my files...

Well, the problem is much more generic.
When a NPAPI plugin registers itself for a mime type, this mime type will no longer be considered a unsupported content, so WebKit will always try to open it itself. It'll call the plugin to render this content.
But when a QWebPluginFactory takes over, then trouble begins. It looks like QWebPluginFactory's plugins can't be used this way, they have to be embedded inside a web page, thus the crashes.
You can get this problem on linux too using the flash plugin : just replace http://www.google.fr with the URL of a flash video directly in the source code of the test case, and it'll crash.

Here is the backtrace :

Improve the bug report title

Please follow the QtWebKit bug reporting guidelines when reporting bugs.

See http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitBugs

Specifically:

  - The 'QtWebKit' component should only be used for bugs/features in the
    public QtWebKit API layer, not to signify that the bug is specific to
    the Qt port of WebKit

      http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitBugs#Component

  - Add the keyword 'Qt' to signal that it's a Qt-related bug

I could reproduce the crash on Windows and the stack trace is the same as bug 29450 so I will resolve this one as duplicate.

I was not able to reproduce the crash on linux using the flash video method with your test case on Qt4.6 + WebKit trunk.
If you think that the flash crash is a different bug and you have more information about it, it would be interesting if you can add it to this bug report.

thanks
