Package: gq
Version: 0.6.0-4
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Some of my LDAP records use accented letters. This makes gq crash when
browsing.
I propose the following patch. It does not resolve the problem, just
avoid the crash. The "problematic" records are still not displayed.

labels[0] = decoded_string(exploded_dn[0]);
new_entry = (dn_browse_entry *) new_dn_browse_entry(dn);
I now have warning/error messages like:
Can't decode (wrong UTF-8?): ou=Opérations, o=xxxx
I also tried the version from Debian experimental. I don't have a crash
anymore but the GUI is blocked instead. So the result is the same:
unusable.
I also made a minimal test program to track the bug.
ldap_rdn2str() returns LDAP_DECODING_ERROR (0x54)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ldap.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char dn[] = "ou=Opérations, o=xxxx";
LDAPDN *parts;
int i, r;
r = ldap_str2dn(dn, &parts, LDAP_DN_FORMAT_LDAP);
printf("ldap_str2dn: 0x%02X\n", r);
for (i = 0 ; parts[i] ; i++)
{
printf("%d\n", i);
printf("%p\n", (*parts)[i]);
if ((*parts)[i])
{
char *v;
LDAPRDN ldaprdn = *(*parts)[i];
printf("attr: %s, value: %s\n",
(*ldaprdn)->la_attr.bv_val, (*ldaprdn)->la_value.bv_val);
r = ldap_rdn2str((*parts)[i], &v,
LDAP_DN_FORMAT_LDAPV3);
printf("ldap_rdn2str: 0x%02X\n", r);

printf("v: %s\n", v);
}
