Crashes (SIGABRT) when trying to view this 1-page PDF

[Keenan Pepper]

Binary package hint: evince

Version 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 in Lucid beta.

PDF and GDB backtrace attached.

(Note: The original PDF is much longer, but I noticed Evince was always crashing on the same page, so I chopped it up with pdftk.)

[Kenneth O'Brien (kobrien)]

this is reproducible

I opened this pdf on windows with adobe acrobat and it threw errors. the problem isn't evince, the problem is the pdf itself. it's poorly formed.

[Keenan Pepper (keenanpepper)]

It might not be a standards-compliant PDF (I don't know, I don't have a PDF validator), but that doesn't mean it's ok for evince just to core dump. It should give a best-effort rendering or an informative error message, not crash.

This bug might have minor importance, but it's not invalid.

[Kenneth O'Brien (kobrien)]

ok, this is fair. in comparison with acrobat, acrobat will show a blank screen.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

that's a poppler crash.
