[ooo-build] [hardy] OpenOffice writer crashes after opening long rtf

[Pelládi Gábor]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-writer

I found this bug using an up-to-date Kubuntu Gutsy.
Test case:
- run oowriter from console
- open the attached rtf document
- close OpenOffice
- see the crash report on the console
First line of the crash report:
*** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: double free or corruption (out): 0x00000000035e2920 ***

Which version of Ubuntu and openoffice.org are you using?

I cannot confirm the crash with ooo 2.3.0-1ubuntu5.1 on Ubuntu Hardy here.

The crash occurs with both ooo version 2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3 (Gutsy) and 2.3.1-3ubuntu3 (Hardy).
Opening the attached document does not result in a crash, but after that trying to close openoffice fails. The window doesn't close, it stays there unresponsively, and a long crash report is printed to the console, if I start oowriter from there. The "double free" in the report makes me think there is some kind of memory corruption after opening this long file. But the corruption causes a crash only when freeing the allocated memory.

Confirmed on Ubuntu hardy openoffice.org 1:2.4.0~rc2-1ubuntu3. It doesn't seem to happen on upstream's 2.4.0~rc2.

This appears to be fixed on openoffice.org 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu1. Can you try with the updated version in hardy-proposed and let me know if that fixes your problem?

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

I will test the new version, but right now I am without a broadband internet access at home. I am going to download the packages next week.

[Pelládi Gábor (pelladigabor)]

Tested with openoffice.org 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu1, the test case does not crash anymore. I'm setting this bug to fix committed because the fix is in proposed.

It is in hardy-updates now so marking it as Fix Released.
