[Bug 1391857] Re: libcairo segfaults when rendering video streams, e.g. youtube videos in webkit base browsers

 

Thanks, the corresponding upstream commit seem to be 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=13a09526d2120c244471e03b6ae979016ef88e83
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=a5f51588afd9d5629b03297eb29ff46350b6ba50

Does it impact any Ubuntu package? If we SRU the fix it should ideally
fix a bug reported in launchpad and easy to reproduce so the fix can be
confirmed to work

Title:
  libcairo segfaults when rendering video streams, e.g. youtube videos
  in webkit base browsers

Status in “cairo” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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.
