Package: cgoban
Version: 1.9.14-17

Hello,
The program crashes when clicking the "edit game" button inside a game (player
vs machine in my case).
Error shown in console:
---
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap)
Serial number of failed request: 8351

Thanks,
George

Closes: 426045 677004 697815 1119374
Changes:
cgoban (1.9.14-22) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Harden the IGS client parser against malicious server input: add field
widths to unbounded sscanf() conversions that copied server-controlled
data into fixed-size stack buffers (potential remote buffer overflow),
including the game-list rank and flag fields parsed by gotGameInfo,
and turn the related parse asserts into graceful returns to prevent a
remote denial of service (igs-client-input.diff).
* Bound SGF coordinate handling: length-limit the lVal copy and return the
existing invalid-location sentinel instead of aborting on a malformed
coordinate (sgf-input-bounds.diff).
* Respect externally supplied CFLAGS so that the dpkg-buildflags hardening
(notably -g, -fstack-clash-protection, -fcf-protection and
-Werror=format-security) is no longer discarded by the upstream
WMS_GET_CFLAGS macro (configure-respect-cflags.diff), closes: #1119374.
* Remove the unused, predictable /tmp reference in grab_cgoban
(grab-cgoban-tmpfile.diff).
* Convert debian/copyright to the machine-readable DEP-5 format.
* Drop the now redundant postinst/postrm: the desktop database is refreshed
by the desktop-file-utils trigger.
* Use https in the Homepage field and in debian/watch.
* Remove trailing whitespace from the package long description.
* Replace the dead NNGS server connection (nngs.cosmic.org, shut down in
2005) with an informational message window (nngs-shutdown-notice.diff),
closes: #426045.
* Silence the eight -Wformat-overflow/-Wformat-truncation warnings by
converting the affected sprintf calls to snprintf and enlarging the
destination buffers to the worst-case formatted size
(format-overflow.diff).
* Clamp porthole dimensions to at least 1x1 before creating the backing
pixmap, fixing a BadAlloc/BadValue crash from X_CreatePixmap under
tiling window managers, (debian/patches/crashes-in-awesome.diff),
closes: #677004, #697815.
* Do not abort the IGS session on an unparsable server line: replace the
misleading "ELF sscanf bug" pop-ups with a single stderr diagnostic and
skip only the offending line (igs-gamelist-graceful.diff).
* Zero newly created XImages so unpainted pixels are not sent to the X
server as heap garbage (random coloured noise in the UI); the stone
renderer only fills the pixels inside each shape (init-image-data.diff).
* Fix the IGS read loop to correctly accumulate server responses larger
than the 8 KB input buffer; previously a busy server's game/who list
left stale bytes that showed as garbage in the terminal
(igs-read-buffer.diff).
* Display the observable-games list compactly, without the blank rows
that game-number gaps produced on busy servers (games-list-compact.diff).
