Title:
Crash related to hyperlinks
Status in vte2.91 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in vte2.91 source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Description ]
A crash was discovered recently in VTE, triggered by the combination
of explicit hyperlinks (a new feature of vte-0.50) and a non-aligned
window size (e.g. Tilix, or maximized GNOME Terminal) due to a missing
trivial boundary check.
Since GNOME Terminal handles all of its terminals in a single process,
a crash causes all its terminals to disappear, making the consequences
even worse.
Mainstream bugreport with technical details and steps to reproduce:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795826
Fix (for vte-0.52.x):
https://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/commit/?h=vte-0-52&id=5966e8bfb
Bionic ships 0.52.1. Mainstream 0.52.2 has been released with this
code change only (apart from the version as reported by VTE itself),
so instead of patching you could probably just simply bump the version
number.
Older Ubuntu release are unaffected, since they didn't yet have
support for explicit hyperlinks.
Jeremy & others, could you please release a fixed package as an update
for Bionic LTS? Thanks a lot!
[ QA ]
Under the GNOME micro release exception, you can believe this bug is
fixed. Please just test as outlined in bug #1774167
