Bug Description
[ Impact ]
When identification is used we may get a crash or a critical error when parsing the prints gallery data
[ Test case ]
Run:
- fprintd-verify any
With a fingerprint reader supporting identification.
Fprintd should work as expected and journalctl -u fprintd.service should not show any critical error handling GObject's
[ Regression potential ]
Fingerprint structure data could not be free'd, causing a memory leak
