The libcairo version (1.13) that is used on Ubuntu 14.04 contains a bug the leads to a segementation fault (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81699) when rendering certain video streams. E.g. webkit based browser that render Youtube videos will eventually crash.

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.
