update out to other Ubuntu users.

mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not

Title:
  gvfs may crash when parsing non-valid UTF8 in autorun.inf

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gvfs source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in gvfs source package in Cosmic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact

  gvfs can be made to segfault by being provided an invalid autorun.inf

  * Test Case

  Use the proof of concept from bellow to generate an invalid
  autorun.inf and place it on an usb drive, connect the drive to the
  computer, gvfs shouldn't hit a segfault

  * Regression potential

  Check that the autorun feature keeps working

  -----------------------

  Reported upstream at https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2330 -
  libpcre3 can be made to crash when matching the pattern \s*= when the
  context is n\xff=

  Able to reproduce on current Bionic using the PoC attached (which is
  copied directly from the upstream bug report) - in a fresh Bionic VM:

  $ sudo apt install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev
  $ cd PCRE_PoC
  $ ./compilePoC.sh
  $ ./PoC
  Content:
  -------------------
  n�=
  -------------------
  Pattern:
  -------------------
  \s*=
  ---------------------
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  Haven't yet tested the second PoC via an external disk autorun.inf and
  gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor.

  Also haven't tested in Cosmic / older releases
