** Description changed: + --- SRU report follows --- + Impact: Users of Ubuntu 9.10 may experience a local denial of service condition where the PulseAudio daemon process(es) exhausts available memory. This is caused by the default-used module-udev-detect not properly freeing invalid udev contexts. + + Fixed in 10.04: addressed in the latest Lucid source upload that + contains the upstream fix + + Minimal fix for 9.10: + http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37963834/pulseaudio_0.9.19-0ubuntu4.1.debdiff + + TEST CASE: On some configurations, this symptom is immediately + triggerable. On others, it requires that the user choose a non-stereo + multichannel profile in System > Preferences > Sound > Hardware > + Profile + + Regression potential: low -- the existing upstream fix has been well- + tested in Daniel T Chen's PPA and only touches the relevant code in + module-udev-detect. The existing workaround of using module-detect will + not be affected. + + --- Original report follows --- + Binary package hint: pulseaudio Pulse audio routinely uses 2GB+ over the course of a few hours. - Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10 pulseaudio: - Installed: 1:0.9.16~test6-3-g57e1-0ubuntu2 - Candidate: 1:0.9.16~test6-3-g57e1-0ubuntu2 - Version table: - *** 1:0.9.16~test6-3-g57e1-0ubuntu2 0 - 500 http://mirror.optus.net karmic/main Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 1:0.9.16~test6-3-g57e1-0ubuntu2 + Candidate: 1:0.9.16~test6-3-g57e1-0ubuntu2 + Version table: + *** 1:0.9.16~test6-3-g57e1-0ubuntu2 0 + 500 http://mirror.optus.net karmic/main Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - - I expect pulseaudio to continue to use a couple MB of memory, certainly less then 2GB. + I expect pulseaudio to continue to use a couple MB of memory, certainly + less then 2GB.
