Title:
weather applet prefs crash due to incorrect use of g_settings_get ()
Status in “gnome-applets” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The function compare_location() in gweather-pref.c contains the
following call:
g_settings_get (pref->priv->applet->lib_settings, "default-location",
"(ssm(dd))",
&default_loc, NULL, NULL);
This format string requires 5 pointers to be provided, but only 3 are
given. Beacuse if this, g_settings_get will use random stack data as
pointers, and corrupt memory causing a crash.
Adding 2 more NULL pointers fixes the problem:
g_settings_get (pref->priv->applet->lib_settings, "default-location",
"(ssm(dd))",
&default_loc, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
Version 3.5.92-0ubuntu1, quantal.
