Title:
  Incorrect rendering triggered by cairo CAIRO_OPERATOR_SATURATE with
  subpixel positioning

Status in pixman package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pixman source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  OpenSlide (libopenslide0 in Ubuntu) uses Cairo as its rendering
  backend, always with CAIRO_OPERATOR_SATURATE and sometimes with
  subpixel positioning (when reading certain file formats), and Cairo in
  turn invokes this code. As a result, some slides incorrectly render
  with large blank spaces and with some pixels rendered on top of other
  pixels. This effectively makes OpenSlide unusable for several of the
  file formats it supports. No workaround is believed possible within
  the OpenSlide codebase.

  [ Test Plan ]

  Compile and run the pixman.c test program uploaded to this bug. It
  should report "OK".

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Problems would show up as incorrect pixel output from software that
  renders via Cairo or pixman.

  [ Other Info ]

  While I'm not a pixman expert, it appears that the change should only
  affect the broken code path, and it seems unlikely that anything else
  depends on the incorrect math fixed by this patch. This bug hasn't
  previously been reported in Ubuntu, which may imply that this code
  path is not exercised by other packages in the distro.

  The affected source file has had no further commits upstream since
  this patch was applied in April 2019, and some basic commit grepping
  didn't turn up any followup fixes elsewhere in the tree.

  [ Original message ]

  pixman 0.38.4-0ubuntu1 in focal (and actually pixman 0.38.x generally)
  has a regression that causes incorrect rendering in some
  circumstances.  This can be triggered by the use of cairo with
  CAIRO_OPERATOR_SATURATE and subpixel positioning, and causes OpenSlide
  <https://openslide.org/> to produce incorrect output.

  The attached test program will print "Failed" if the bug exists, or
  "OK" if it doesn't.

  This is fixed upstream in
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pixman/pixman/-/commit/8256c235, which
  is in pixman 0.40.0.

  See https://github.com/openslide/openslide/issues/278 for more
  context.
