Evince crashes on an unreadable nonempty postscript file owned by root

[Md Ayquassar]

Package: evince
Version: 3.38.0-1

I run an up-to-date groovy 20.10.

This is how to reproduce the segfault:

root@host:/tmp# rm mwe.ps
root@host:/tmp# echo "test" > mwe.ps
root@host:/tmp# chmod g-rwx,o-rwx mwe.ps
root@host:/tmp# exit
logout
user@host:/tmp$ evince mwe.ps
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

An expected outcome would be a meaningful error message instead of a crash. Thanks in advance for repairing this bug.

Paul, I tremendously apologize for writing you this way: it seems that my account at launchpad is gone.
The bug still exists with the current Ubuntu:
$ sudo aptitude show evince| grep Version Version: 43.0-1 $ sudo lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.10 Release: 22.10 Codename: kinetic
$ env | grep XDG_SESSION_TYPE XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
Please reopen the bug report.
Thanks in advance!
