** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + The MTD device unconditionally advertises CAN_VERIFY_IMAGE, but the + firmware gtype is only set for FMAP/IFD/uSWID devices. A plain MTD + device left the gtype as G_TYPE_INVALID, so verify-update called + g_object_new(G_TYPE_INVALID, NULL) which returned NULL and then crashed + in fu_firmware_parse_stream() dereferencing a NULL firmware. + + [ Test Plan ] + + After the aging and release of this SRU, the crashes on the error + tracker should go away for this issue. + + Additionally we expect the overall crash rate to be lower as well. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + In terms of functionality, this patch can only strictly be an + improvement (it replaces a wrongly NULL value with a real one). + + Problems could occur if the non-functioning updater now executes and + updates a device in a wrong/unexpected manner. + + [ Other Info ] + The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding fwupd. This problem was most recently seen with package version 2.1.1-1ubuntu3, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/58b7e9ea17510b077d6375f2154b75404259994a contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports.
