severity 493363 grave tags 493363 + patch quit Severity justification: This bug allocates memory in an infinite loop, which leads to the system near-freezing while thrashing, until the Xserver crashes. >From opening the attached minimal test case image in Konqueror, it's less than ten seconds before the system starts thrashing.
In SVGAnimatedPointsImpl::parsePoints there's a for loop over an iterator. Each time through the loop takes two elements from the iterator, but only tests the exit condition once. A malformed SVG polygon with an odd number of coordinates will trigger the bug. A minimal test case is attached, as is a patch which will silently ignore such malformed polygons (while still rendering the rest of the SVG). Steve
