Package: accountsservice Version: 0.6.37-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch Please apply the attached patch to accountsservice. It fixes a SEGFAULT crash caused by the creation of invalid DBus paths when users with UID number greater than 2^31 are present on the system. Because of a wrong format string, the UID number is rendered as a negative number, but DBus paths with "-" in them are invalid. So an assertion fails and triggers a segmentation fault.
Probably it is sensible to forward the patch upstream.
Thanks, Giovanni.

Description: Fix generation of invalid DBus path Because of a wrong format string, when an UID number is bigger than 2^31 it is rendered as a negative number. This generates an invalid DBus path, because "-" is not allowed in DBus paths.
