Public bug reported:

The libcairo version (1.13) that is used on Ubuntu 14.04 contains a bug
the leads to a segementation fault (see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81699) when rendering
certain video streams.  E.g. webkit based browser that render Youtube
videos will eventually crash.

The bug has been fixed upstream, libcairo 1.14 does not segfault, so it
would be very desirable that the libcairo2 package in Ubuntu gets
updated to version 1.14 of libcairo.

** Affects: cairo (Ubuntu)
