a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

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

Status in Cairo Graphics Library:
  Confirmed
Status in cairo package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in midori package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in webkitgtk package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in cairo source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact
  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.

  * Testcase
  try to open https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1XGPvbWn0A in midori browser

  * Regression potential
  check that GTK and webkit still work correctly (no segfault, no rendering issues)

  -----------------------

  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.
