* New bugfix version (lp: #2015543) -- Sebastien Bacher <[email protected]> Fri, 07 Apr 2023 11:50:27 +0200 ** Changed in: wpebackend-fdo (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to wpebackend-fdo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2015543 Title: Update to the upstream 1.12.1 bugfix version Status in wpebackend-fdo package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in wpebackend-fdo source package in Jammy: Fix Released Bug description: * Impact The update fixes memory handling issues which could potential have security implication. It was requested by the MIR team on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpebackend- fdo/+bug/1973033/comments/11 as we need to promote the package for incoming webkitgtk security updates Fedora issues an update on similar concern https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-f98ab9f311 * Testcase Unfortunately it's not easy to test wpebackend-fdo since the project has no tests nor demo utility. The backend is used mostly by webkitgtk but the current archive version is built without that option. It is a requirement for newer webkitgtk series though and such for incoming security update (since newer webkitgtk series are rolled out as security updates) * Regression potential The changes are small fixes for memory management issues but if those were wrong then it could lead to rendering issues or crashes in webkitgtk clients once webkitgtk is build with libwpe.
