[Bug 1535390] [NEW] Chromium's built-in PDF renderer crashes when rendering some files, takes unity down

 

Public bug reported:

Chromium reliably crashes when opening some PDF files (not all of them). When it does, unity (compiz) is taken down with it and I'm taken back to the login screen. At that point logging in results in compiz seemingly crashing again, and a reboot is needed to allow logging in again.
I'm attaching a PDF file that reliably triggers the crash. Note that the file renders fine in e.g. evince.
