I have problems to understand why this would be a Denial of
Service. While I don't share the opinion about browser
crashes I think there are at least good arguments for both
sides.
But if swfdec crashes on playing a flash movie this
looks like an application bug. At least I wouldn't talk
about Denial of Service if vim would crash on opening a text
file.
It would be interesting what is causing this crash and if
there is underlying a more serious issue.
Kind regards
Nico
