Public bug reported:
After upgrading today:
exiv2 (0.28.5+dfsg-1 => 0.28.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1)
libexiv2-28 (0.28.5+dfsg-1 => 0.28.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1)
libexiv2-data (0.28.5+dfsg-1 => 0.28.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1)
Gwenview, Gthumb, Gimp and ShowFoto crash when opening .png and .jpg
files, with a segmentation fault. My system is Kubuntu 25.10 with Plasma
X11 desktop.
The problem is fixed after downgrading to version 0.28.5+dfsg-1 .
The output of
gdb -ex run --args gwenview image.png
is:
Thread 1 "gwenview" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
