The link in question:
https://github.com/SciQLop/SciQLopPlots/tree/main/.github%2Fworkflows
Hexchat has persistent history, so I can click this link any time and Hexchat will instantly crash. I am not sure if it will be reproducible for anyone else. The link itself is not harmful. When clicked, Firefox pops to the foreground but does not open the link. Hexchat crashes with a segfault inside glib.
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 23.04
Package: hexchat 2.16.1-1build2
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.2.0-23.23-generic 6.2.12
Uname: Linux 6.2.0-23-generic x86_64

SourcePackage: hexchat
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) |
[ Impact ]
hexchat will crash when an user clicks on a link in any irc tab if the url contains URL Encoded value of the Forward Slash (/). The URL can be a valid url like:
https://github.com/SciQLop/SciQLopPlots/tree/main/.github%2Fworkflows
or
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/softhsm2/-/tree/master/src%2Fbin
There are other example of the URL and all of them will crash hexchat even though the URL can be opened on a browser.
[ Test Plan ]
Open hexchat
connect to the ubuntu servers as a guest
send the url as a message to the guest
click on the url from the guest's screen.
hexchat will crash if the package is not fixed.
With the fixed package, hexchat will not crash but instead it will say "file not found"
Send a good url like https://salsa.debian.org/ and confirm that hexchat can still open it to check there is no regression.
[ Where problems could occur ]
This is an upstream patch which has modified the way it is testing for fobidden characters in the url. So, as a worst case, if the patch is buggy then URL clicking ability of hexchat will be affected.
[ Other Info ]
upstream patch is further encoding the '%' in the URL to %25 which is the correct thing to do. And thus the URL becomes an invalid url after hexchat processes it.
As a hexchat user I would have preferred if upstream could have somehow managed to open the URL as we can open it in the browser.
