Bug#801775: iceweasel: eats all memory

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 41.0.1-1
Severity: normal

Hello

displaying certain profile page on liknedin causes iceweasel to eat all
memory. Usual memory consumption is about 20-30%. With this page
displayed memory consumption is 23%-OOM kill.

Tested versions: 41.0.1-1, 38.2.1esr-1~deb8u, 38.3.0esr-1~deb8u1

As the applets on linkedin are loaded depending on the logged-in user
the exact url is pointless.

FWIW on this page I get the 'get introduced to' applet since I have
linkedin connection to several users that have conenction to the user
whose profile page I am viewing.

However, there are other parts of the profile page that never load fully
before iceweasel crashes.

As all iceweasel/firefox bugs I don't expect it is ever resolved except
by pure chance. I file the bug just for reference in case somebody
stumbles across a usable testcase.

Thanks

Michal
