Bug Description
[ Impact ]
"feh" will crash with a coredump if any user tries to open the context menu by right-clicking on the displayed image.
[ Test Plan ]
Install feh
open any image with feh, the command is "feh <image filename>"
right click on the displayed image.
If the package is not fixed it will result in a coredump.
With the fixed package the context menu will be displayed.
To make sure the context menu is working as expected:
1. Goto "image info" in the context manu, and it will show the info in a submenu
2. Goto "File" -> "Change View" and then choose any of the options displayed to rotate or flip the image and the image should behave accordingly.
[ Where problems could occur ]
The upstream patch has changed how it draws the context menu. Instead of using a polygon, its now using lines to draw the menu.
I can imagine that for some users this might cause the menu to be not properly aligned or not displayed correctly at the correct position.
But that might still be better than "feh" crashing while trying to display the menu.
[ Other Info ]
This has been fixed upstream and in Debian (3.10.2-1) and as a result Oracular has the fixed package.
[ Original Bug Description ]
When I right-click on the opened window with the picture to get access to the context menu, the window closes with an error message:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
