Package: libfontconfig1
Version: 2.4.1-2
Severity: important
When attempting to print in either Firefox, Epiphany, and Galeon they
all crash. This crash occured in both Firefox, and Galeon after printing
two times in sequence. While, in Epiphany it only required one attempt
to print to get it to crash.
After installing firefox debug symbols and running firefox in gdb I soon
found that the FcCharSetDestroy() function provided by
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 was causing it as represented by the
following snippet from a backtrace in gdb:
#0 0xa7813d17 in FcCharSetDestroy () from /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1
#1 0x081e5826 in ~nsFontMetricsPS (this=0x9318410) at
nsFontMetricsPS.cpp:111
#2 0x081e33a8 in nsFontMetricsPS::Release (this=0xa76d0414)
at nsFontMetricsPS.cpp:135
#3 0x088de065 in nsFontCache::Flush (this=0x94b3348)
at nsDeviceContext.cpp:715
Given that I had a strong assumption something had changed in
libfontconfig1 from version 2.3.2-7 and 2.4.1-2 I reverted the
libfontconfig1, fontconfig, and fontconfig-config packages to version
2.3.2-7 and when I print in Firefox, Epiphany, and Galeon there is NO
longer an segfault issue. I reverted all 3 packages due to dependencies
between them.
