Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
Note: opening new ticket per Pedro Villavicencio's note on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/192469 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/192469/comments/7) As noted in earlier bug ticket, "Sometimes, right clicking on image file and selecting Properties, nautilus crash." I'm seeing the same problem, and also have an empty /var/crash directory. Running hardy 8.04.2 x86_64, all packages up to date. This sounds like the same bug reported here for Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472439 as a bug in libexempi (and apparently resolved for Fedora). Use the .exv sample data in that ticket's initial entry to reproduce. That is: 1) make a JPEG (I used Gimp to convert a PNG screenshot to JPEG) 2) install exiv2 3) use exiv2 to remove any metadata from the image from step 1 4) save the Fedora bugzilla sample bad .exv with the same basename as the JPEG made in step 1 5) use exiv2 to import the bugzilla sample metadata into the jpeg 6) in Nautilus, right-click on the image icon and request its properties. Or just try viewing the properties of the JPEG I'm attaching now (which uses the Fedora bugzilla sample metadata)... crashes Nautilus for me every time I request its properties (as do a number of my own pictures, taken with a Canon camera). Is this a security problem? Seems plausible, but I have not made any attempt to determine if the bug is exploitable. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nautilus crash right clicking on Properties of an image file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330557 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
