Bug Description
Binary package hint: most
Ubuntu: hardy 8.04.2 LTS
Package: most
Package version: 4.10.2-5
When viewing the attached file (initgroup.patch2) with most, I get a core dump when viewing the file. I'm not sure if this exploitable or not, but I've flagged this as a security vulnerability to be safe. File viewers shouldn't dump core.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I cannot reproduce the crashes you're seeing. You may want to read https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingPr ocedures
I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
