Bug 241954 – [GTK] Segfault in firstChild when clicking on a pull request on GitHub while logged in

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: WebCore JavaScript

[antoyo]

Hi.

Reproduction steps:

 * Login to GitHub in Epiphany
 * Navigate to https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/pulls?q=is:pr+is:closed
 * Click on a PR link.
 * The page crash with the message: "Something went wrong while displaying this page. Please reload or visit a different page to continue."

It reproduces 100% of the time (assuming you are logged in; when logged out, the problem doesn't happen).

Here's the stacktrace:

Core was generated by `/usr/lib/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess 16 32'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Thanks to fix this issue.

I'm seeing that too with WebKitGTK 2.36.3 on NetBSD (not 100% reproducible but happens very often).

Possible interesting data point: this started only recently (less than 24 hours ago, i.e. probably since today (2022-06-24)) so I think that some github.com change started triggering that.

I hit this constantly as well, seems weird that only GTK is affected.

[Adrian Perez]

I've done a bisection to find the commit which fixed this issue, because
it is not a problem anymore in ToT. After some churning, the patch from
bug #238429 seems to fix this in my limited testing. I am doing now a
release build with the patch applied on top of the 2.36 branch to use
it for a few hours to be completely certain before closing this bug :)

[Leonardo Taccari]

Wow, great catch!

Thank you Adrian!

[Xi Ruoyao]

Can we merge the patch for 2.36.6 then?

I have been testing a build with the patch applied (and additionally
a related patch on top) and in half a day of continuous usage I have
not hit any crashes in GitHub anymore. I have pushed both to the 2.36
release branch, so version 2.36.6 will have this resolved =)

That's great!

Thank you very much again Adrian for bisecting and backporting it!
