Thanks for any help. Ubuntu 12.10. After login Compiz crashes, and when I try to lunch it in terminal it doesn't work and the output is:
per-olav@asus12:~$ compiz
compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: core

ERROR 2012-11-18 17:24:14 nux.gestures_subscription GesturesSubscription.cpp:299 Failed to activate Geis subscription.

[Impact]
In some computers, users are unable to get past the login screen. Compiz crashes right after it's started.
The fix should be backported as it's a simple null pointer check (i.e., low regression risk) and solves the serious problem described above. The crash happened because, in nux, when geis fails to activate a gestures subscription (which is an uncommon case, thus the low number of computers affected), nux destroys the related objects, which includes a pointer to a geis filter. In this situation that geis filter pointer is null and therefore geis_filter_delete() receives a null pointer and tries to access it, which causes a segmentation fault. The fix changes geis_filter_delete() so that it checks if the received pointer is null before trying to use it.
[Test Case]
A unit test has been included along with the fix.
For users with computers affected by this bug, testing the fix is really simple: after installing the package with the proposed fix, just try to log in and check if you get to the ubuntu desktop successfully.
[Regression Potential]
Only computers affected by this bug will get a different code path executed due to this fix, as they are the only ones that pass null pointers to geis_filter_delete() and, therefore, will now get a different behaviour out of this funticion (a no-op success instead of a segmentation fault). |
