Title:
flashplugin-nonfree has memory leak
Status in flashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
1)
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
2)
flashplugin-nonfree:
10.3.181.26ubuntu0.11.04.1
3)
I started Firefox 4.01 and opened the following address:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
I expected the page to be loaded as usual.
4)
Loading of the page stopped at one point. From here Ubuntu not responded to anything (keystrokes, mouse move etc.).
I figured out that Firefox's plugin-container process eats all available memory (See attached output of top).
I tried to open that page with Opera 11.11 and the same happened. So it's not Firefox related.
I am wondering the kernel's oom killer why didn't killed the plugin-
container process. Even I had tried to change the default overcommit
settings to vm.overcommit_memory = 2 and vm.overcommit_ratio = 50, but
it wasn't helped. So maybe there is a kernel bug too.
