In the interest of yet more completeness, I tested this on a few different machines here at my office, here are the results: Test image was 10000000px by 10000000px - ~11kb in size It appears as all black in Mozilla of any version/platform/arch I tried. Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 operates slowly (not surprising considering size of image) Internet Explorer 6 SP1 hangs for a bit, displays nothing other than just the text on the HTML page, then crashes the system as the original report states. I tried this with an Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV (That's what the driver is labelled at anyrate). It's integrated into my Dell Dimension 2400's motherboard. Running WinXP Pro, updated to everything short of SP2. The other OS, browser, and system combinations I tried merely responded the same; very slow response. It seems the crash problem can only be recreated in IE, no surprises there. My guess, from my limited knowledge of the way video cards and their drivers function, it's probably a bug in how IE is interacting with the video driver. Although, this is merely a guess, and I certainly can't truly point a finger at M$ or Intel with any certainty. Maybe someone with some experience of such things can point a finger better than I. :) I hope this helps track down the problem. - Christopher Wagner <chrisw@xxxxxxxxxxx> -----Original Message----- From: Frank Nospam [mailto:fuy1@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 1:33 PM To: bugtraq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Driver for display goes to a infinite loop by viewing a html! For the sake of completeness: Mac OS X 10.3.5 doesn't crash or consume excess CPU cycles at your test page. The only notable quirk was a failure to scale the test image: Safari 1.2.3 (KHTML) displayed a blank space 999999 pixels tall and Mozilla 1.8a displayed a 999999x999999 black box. > On 11 Aug 2004 12:11:06 -0000, Bipin Gautam <visitbipin@xxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: >> http://www.geocities.com/visitbipin/crazy.html >> Try scrolling the picture for few seconds...[ don't kill the process] >> I have tested it on several machines with intel vga. it reboots Winxp >> with a fetal error because The driver for the display device got >> stuck in an infinite loop. -- ? http://geocities.com/francis_uy=
