[SOLVED] Firefox and OpenJDK give buffer overflow

StefaX · 2012-08-03 07:47:07

Hello all,
I hope I am posting this on the right forum. I am having some problems on sites with Java when opening them using Firefox 14.0.1 and the OpenJDK plugin.

Whenever I open a site that has any kind of java (even the simple applet tutorial given on oracle website) I get a buffer overflow error. If I switch to Sun JDK (well Oracle? whatever...) everything works perfectly. Opera with OpenJDK works perfectly as well.

This is what I get:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: firefox terminated

It's not a very big issue for me, it takes a split second to switch between OpenJDK and Sun but if I happen to forget, things go pear shaped. Anyone else having this issue? I remember something like that, if I am not mistaken, happening with Firefox 3.5 but that has been fixed long ago.

I have exactly the same problem. Same version of firefox and same backtrace. It seems to have started with the update to "extra/icedtea-web-java7 1.2.1-1" today.

Ditto on the above problems.

I did #pacman -R all of the icedtea and java installed.
Then did a #pacman -Sc

Then went to the AUR and installed JRE
Rebooted.

No more crashes.
