Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: libgweather (Ubuntu Zesty) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libgweather in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688208 Title: gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in foreach_city() from foreach_city() from foreach_city() from foreach_city() from foreach_city() Status in libgweather: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in libgweather package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libgweather source package in Zesty: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ====== Memory corruption in libgweather caused gnome-shell to crash. This is particularly bad for GNOME on Wayland as a gnome-shell crash will causes the user to lose their sessions. (GNOME Shell 3.24 introduced a new weather feature in the clock menu.) This particular error has been reported over 1000 times to errors.ubuntu.com from Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 and was also a Fedora 26 blocker bug. Test Case ========= The number of crashes reported on errors.ubuntu.com for gnome-shell should be significantly lower once this new version of libgweather rolls out. Because e.u.com links this issue with gnome-shell, this is difficult to verify except that if you run gnome-shell, it shouldn't crash so often especially when first logging in. Regression Potential ==================== The main new commit here had already been cherry-picked by Fedora and in Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha. Considering the previous The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding gnome-shell. This problem was most recently seen with package version 3.24.1-0ubuntu3, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/39b6625ed47999dab38b064b2d91bde1e11dec62 contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports.
