Package: thunderbird Version: 1:45.7.1-1 Severity: normal Control: forwarded -1 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1340724
Launch thunderbird with: NSPR_LOG_MODULES=smtp:5 NSPR_LOG_FILE=/tmp/thunderbird.log thunderbird compose and send a message. the log /tmp/thunderbird.log will contain something like: -321738944[7fb1eb8a2380]: SMTP AuthLoginStep1() for testu...@example.com@<90><F6>^K<EA><B1>^? that trailing garbage is bad! it should represent a string-like description of the smtp server or something. Looking at: https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mailnews/compose/src/nsSmtpProtocol.cpp#1460 shows that what should be a string pointer is being retrieved from an nsCOMPtr<nsISmtpServer>.get() function, which is just a nsISmtpServer* -- i think it should be calling GetHostname or GetDescription or something comparable instead of handing a raw pointer to the logging function. sorry i don't have the build capacity to test a patch right now (i wish it was cheaper and simpler to build thunderbird!), but i think that's where it needs to be fixed. I've also reported the problem upstream, though i don't know how much activity is there these days. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages thunderbird depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.1 ii fontconfig 2.11.0-6.7 ii libasound2 1.1.3-4 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.14-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-2.1 ii libffi6 3.2.1-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3+b1 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.2-2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libhunspell-1.4-0 1.4.1-2+b1 ii libicu57 57.1-5 ii libnspr4 2:4.12-6 ii libnss3 2:3.26.2-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpixman-1-0 0.34.0-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.16.2-2 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-4 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-6 ii libvpx4 1.6.1-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-2+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii psmisc 22.21-2.1+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages thunderbird recommends: ii lightning 1:45.7.1-1 pn myspell-en-us | hunspell-dictionary | myspell-dictionary <none> Versions of packages thunderbird suggests: pn apparmor <none> ii fonts-lyx 2.2.2-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.15-1 -- no debconf information
