[Bug 675445] New: Dolphin crashed when attempting to preview a PPT
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675445 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675445#c0 Summary: Dolphin crashed when attempting to preview a PPT Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Applications AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: Greg.Freemyer@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729) A long standing bug in Dolphin / Strigi is that it crashes when trying to preview PPT files. It has been reported to the KDE team, many, many times. They finally have a fix, but it is for KDE 4.7 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249876 See the last few entries. Although it appears invasive, this is a major bug that will impact many if not most KDE users. I sincerely hope that either the fix is backported to OS 11.4 (and even 11.3) or that an alternate less graceful fix is developed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Dolphin 2. Browse to directory with a *.PPT file in it 3. Hover the mouse over the PPT file, wait for crash -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I wrote a patch for the buggy input size checking for ole compound documents myself, in our opensuse patch there is a 64k margin of error window where it might crash. I sent a more complete patch to strigi-devel and got no reply, it's more complete but I wanted proper feedback first and I thought it wouldn't matter enough anyways. If it still crashes please provide a testcase file -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm trying to find a reproducer in 11.4RC2. I had only been following the upstream bugzilla and didn't realize you'd put in a fix. Is your fix in both 11.3 and 11.4? My crashes were all 11.3 I believe and its been a while. I have been avoiding dolphin due to this bug, so my comments may be old and crusty at this point. fyi: When updates come out for 11.3 I normally read them. I don't recall this issue being listed as fixed, but when I'm busy I don't always even scan everything. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The fix already is in upstream bugzilla https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251701 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
