Title: Crash on promoting to queen fairymax engine Status in Vala: Confirmed Status in gnome-chess package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in gnome-chess source package in Yakkety: New Bug description: Impact ------ The Chess app in Ubuntu 16.10 will crash when trying to promote a pawn. gnome-chess is not installed by default by any current Ubuntu flavors. Test Case --------- 1. Open the Chess app and click Preferences in the app menu. Change Opposing Player to Human. Close Preferences. 2. Make a move then click New Game to start a new game without a computer player. 3. Move a pawn to the far end of the board to promote it to Queen. Does Chess crash after promoting? Regression Potential -------------------- Low. Other Info ---------- I discussed this patch with Michael Catanzaro, the gnome-chess maintainer who had this to say: "That patch is one way to work around it... the workaround I used in Fedora is to not use any hardening flags when compiling the package. If anyone's computer gets hacked because someone finds a way to get code execution via malformed Portable Game Notation, then accept my apologies in advance. ;)" This only affect Ubuntu 16.10 since that was the first release where we opted gnome-chess into all available hardening flags.
