[Launchpad Bug Tracker <822470@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 0.9.3-0ubuntu4

---------------
lightdm (0.9.3-0ubuntu4) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Updated to current trunk, that's a candidate version version for the next
    update, it fixes those issues:
    - login doesn't work for ecryptfs users (lp: #823775, #824594)
    - "lightdm-gtk-greeter segfaults in get_user_iter when adding a new user"
    (lp: #822470)
    - fix fallback from org.freedesktop.Accounts to passwd format (lp: #817835)
    - empty autologin-user should not be passed to pam (lp: #817581)
  * debian/control.in:
    - build-depends on quilt, it's needed with source v1
    - don't build-depends on valac, vala is not used in the current version
  * debian/lightdm.install:
    - install the manpages as well
  * debian/lightdm.manpages:
    - dropped, it's installed by the upstream make install
  * debian/rules:
    - use the quilt rule
  * debian/source/format:
    - use source v1, it works better with vcs workflows

Title:
  lightdm-gtk-greeter segfaults in get_user_iter when adding a new user

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Committed
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce with lightdm-gtk-greeter 0.9.2:
  1) Switch to another vt or login through ssh
  2) sudo adduser someusername
  3) lightdm-gtk-greeter will crash

  The segfault occurs when user_changed_cb is triggered. When a new user
  is added, the user is appended to the end of the list, so when
  user_changed_cb calls get_user_iter, it will search through every row
  before finally finding the user at the end. However, the name for the
  "Other..." user is NULL, so when strcmp is called, the greeter
  crashes.
