Bug Description
* Impact
The libcairo version (1.13) that is used on Ubuntu 14.04 contains a bug the leads to a segementation fault (see https:/
* Testcase
try to open https:/
* Regression potential
check that GTK and webkit still work correctly (no segfault, no rendering issues)
-------
The bug has been fixed upstream, libcairo 1.14 does not segfault, so it would be very desirable that the libcairo2 package in Ubuntu gets updated to version 1.14 of libcairo.

Hi,
My web browser crashes when i try to watch a youtube video or open certain web
pages with any webkit browser(that uses cairo).
I found other peoples like me with this bug but i can't found a solution.
This error already happened with me while using these web browsers: jumanji,
surf, uzbl, vimprobrable2, dwb. And using two diferents linux distributions.
Arch Linux and Gentoo, both in the same computer.
There is this problem archived on this mailing list lists.cairograp hics.org/ archives/ cairo/2014- March/025089. html , but the lists.cairograp hics.org/ archives/ cairo/2014- March/025103. html

"solution" apresented in the end, as a patch
http://
didn't solved my problem. He says about the patch "This diff avoids the segfault
for me, but only papers over the bug..." So it's not the real solution.
I posted on Arch Linux and on Gentoo forum, the last have more information. /forums. gentoo. org/viewtopic- t-995484- start-0- postdays- 0-postorder- asc-highlight- .html?sid= c5c15b443145682 1dcc93bbbc74b9a ce
