This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center - 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.2
--------------- gnome-control-center (1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.2) saucy-proposed; urgency=low * debian/patches/sanitize_ssid_convert_utf8.patch: make sure we properly convert the SSID to UTF-8 where possible; using nm_utils_ssid_to_utf8(), rather than nm_utils_escape_ssid() which isn't meant to be used that way. (LP: #1198315) -- Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu...@ubuntu.com> Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:41:12 -0500 ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu Saucy) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1198315 Title: [network]: gnome-control-center SIGSEGV in append_escaped_text() (invalid utf8 ssid name) Status in GNOME Control Center: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Saucy: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Any user who tries to open the gnome-control-center, having a wireless network with extended characters (such as ö, ü, etc.) in range, or saved in connections in NetworkManager. [Test Case] 1) With a wireless network in range or saved, named "üö" or with any such character in the SSID, try to open gnome-control-center network panel. With the patch, the panel opens. Without the patch, the panel doesn't open, gnome-control-center crashes. [Regression Potential] This changes the way the wireless network SSIDs are displayed in the UI. They will retain the method in which they are sorted, but in the event that multiple SSIDs with very similar names but with a different, complex character in the name in the same location (e.g. ABC vs. ABX, if C and X were special characters), they would both show with ? in place of any special character that cannot be represented in UTF-8. In the previous example; ABC and ABX would be in the right order, but both would be displayed as "AB?". --- Got this on saucy ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu29 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.10.0-2.9-generic 3.10.0 Uname: Linux 3.10.0-2-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.10.2-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CrashCounter: 1 Date: Fri Jul 5 21:43:59 2013 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-control-center InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-03-14 (113 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20130213) MarkForUpload: True ProcCmdline: gnome-control-center SegvAnalysis: Segfault happened at: 0x7f9814028a20 <g_markup_escape_text+80>: movzbl (%rbx),%eax PC (0x7f9814028a20) ok source "(%rbx)" (0x7f97df5a8000) in non-readable VMA region: 0x7f97df5a8000-0x7f97df7a7000 ---p /usr/lib/libnm-gtk.so.0.0.0 destination "%eax" ok SegvReason: reading VMA /usr/lib/libnm-gtk.so.0.0.0 Signal: 11 SourcePackage: gnome-control-center StacktraceTop: g_markup_escape_text () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 ??
