[Bug 793293] [NEW] DoS window manager with extremely long error

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: pitivi

displaying extremely long error causes the window manager to crash.
if the keyboard doesn't respond , login in tty and run "compiz&" .

test case :

emanuel@emanuel-desktop:~$ pitivi `python -c "print 'A'*100000"`
/usr/lib/pitivi/python/pitivi/ui/mainwindow.py:827: GtkWarning: Native Windows wider or taller than 65535 pixels are not supported
  dialog.run()
pitivi: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

sometimes it print other messages :

emanuel@emanuel-desktop:~$ pitivi `python -c "print 'A'*100000"`
/usr/lib/pitivi/python/pitivi/ui/mainwindow.py:827: GtkWarning: Native Windows wider or taller than 65535 pixels are not supported
  dialog.run()
The program 'pitivi' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 466 error_code 158 request_code 148 minor_code 8)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
