[Bug 904314] [NEW] Evolution crashes with segfault on viewing certain mails

 

Public bug reported:

Hi there,

I'm running 64bit Ubuntu 11.10 Kernel 3.0.0-13 and Evolution evolution:
  Installiert: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1
  Kandidat:    3.2.1-0ubuntu1
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.2.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages

The installation is only a few days old (complete an new) and I've set
up Evolution as my mail program. Using gmail, google contacts and google
calender, it is just the app of choice.

When I try to view certain emails in evolution (of my gmail account), Evolution just crashes with a segmentation fault (Speicherzugriffsfehler).
dmesg says:
[ 2644.539233] evolution[5546]: segfault at 30 ip 00007f003cf1a368 sp 00007f002f0eb780 error 4 in libevolution-mail.so.0.0.0[7f003ce9f000+ca000]

This seems to be linked to viewing certain mails of certain senders. I
can access most mails, but it seems that of a few senders I can only see
a few wheras most mails of these senders trigger the crash. It seems
that they have in common that they use e-mail certificates (signed
e-mails), but I can not 100% confirm this.

I think since the update to mbox, I might have that problem but I'm not
sure.

Any help appreciated. It's my first bug report, so please be patient
with me... :-)

Cheers

Helge
