Package: gdm
Version: 2.8.0.6-2
When using a GraphicalTheme with a list and having gecos fields that are
not valid UTF-8, gdm crashes. It only seems to happen on names where the
second last character is non-valid. Like for example "Sture Ström" encoded
as ISO-8859-1.
It is the applications responsability to make sure strings passed to
g_markup_escape_text() are valid UTF-8, according to the documentation at:
http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-Simple-XML-Subset-Parser.html#g-markup-escape-text
Before calling that function on line 139 in greeter_item_ulist.c, gdm
should make sure usr->gecos is valid.

Version: 2.20.11-4+rm
gdm was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze) in
February 2011 and removed from Debian sid/unstable in 2011 (see
http://bugs.debian.org/613491 for details on the removal). Since
support for squeeze and squeeze-LTS has now ended, I'm closing all the
remaining bugs reported against this package.
