Public bug reported:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04
apt-cache policy liferea
liferea:
Installed: 1.12.2-1
Candidate: 1.12.2-1
Version table:
*** 1.12.2-1 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
There is a massive memory leak in this particular version of liferea, which is
fixed in the next upstream point release, 1.12.3:
The issue report upstream:
https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/issues/633
The commit that fixed it (only two small lines of code):
https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/commit/b74f050a7f9870c18b7ef46bb4ce647b5ac4b9fa
The full changelog for the next upstream point release:
https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/releases/tag/v1.12.3
There are also other important issues that are fixed in 1.12.3 and subsequent
versions.
Is it possible to upgrade liferea's packages on Bionic to the most recent
upstream version? Or at the very least a backport of the fix for the memory
leak.
As it is, Liferea's memory consumption starts climbing into the GiB's
after a few days with a modest number of feeds. If not restarted, it
could probably trigger an OOM error, and, before that point, it may
cause severe performance degradation of the entire system due to
eventually forcing the use of swap.
Thanks.
