[Impact] Buggy epub handling code makes atril-thumbnailer crash on the first epub document it encounters.
Until we write the proper thumbnailing code for epubs, the quick fix is just to disable thumbnail generation for this type of documents. That fix is provided in the debdiff attached to the report. The bug is old, and it still haunts Xenial users when they just use the file manager and enter some directory which contains at least one epub document. So would be nice to have the fix backported to Xenial. [Test Case] Steps to reproduce: - have some epub document - open file manager (Caja or some other one) and enter the directory where the epub document is - if apport is enabled, it will show the message about atril-thumbnailer crash (which is annoying) - dmesg output will have a message about the crash too If you need to reproduce it once more, first remove all the files from ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail directory. In case you need some epubs for testing, you can find them at: https://github.com/IDPF/epub3-samples/releases [Regression Potential] None. This quick fix just makes sure that crashy code won't run at all. Other types of documents (like pdfs) aren't affected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540018 Title: atril-thumbnailer crashed with SIGSEGV in ev_document_misc_surface_rotate_and_scale() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/atril/+bug/1540018/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
