*** vivid SRU justification : fldigi (3.22.04-1ubuntu2) ***
[Impact]
* Access of some uninitialized structures at startup manifests either
as a no-op or a crash, depending on the state of the user's fldigi
application configuration file(s).
* This affects a substantial number of fldigi users upon upgrade to vivid,
as noted by this bug, its duplicate, and many posts on the linuxham mailing
list, e.g.:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/linuxham/conversations/topics/26170
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/linuxham/conversations/topics/28010
* The vivid SRU upload (3.22.04-1ubuntu2) applies a straightforward backport
of the upstream patch from upstream 3.22.10 which corrects the structure
access order. That version (3.22.10) has been deployed to Debian unstable so
will appear in Ubuntu wily.
[Test Case]
* Testing the fix required an fldigi configuration state which happens
to trigger the crash. This fix has been successfully tested by two
users who did experience the crash. This procedure may or may not
result in a crashing configuration.
1. Start up an older version of fldigi and configure it via its setup
wizard.
2. Upgrade fldigi to version 3.22.04-1 and try starting it.
3. Observe crash with dump referring to "fl_height" (see bug report).
4. Upgrade fldigi to version 3.22.04-1ubuntu2 and try starting it.
5. Observe no crash.
[Regression Potential]
* Regressions resulting from this fix would likely manifest in a similar
way as the original failure: crashes at startup.
