kcrash report
BTW there was no crash in late january on these pdfs (last date I can be sure I tried opening them). I don't know what software versions I had then, I guess whatever debian testing had. Regretfully, your poppler library is too old. The bug was fixed since then (at least this file does not crash my Okular with poppler 0.87). The reason that the earlier versions of Okular do not crash is that the new version starts to handle digital signatures. You can try to patch poppler (or ask Debian maintainers to do so). The patch is tiny. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/eaeac5c7dba6f53acef3f0be6b226facecfc5f28.diff Sorry. Hope this helps. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 407338 *** Thanks, upgrading libpoppler-qt5-1 to 0.85 from debian experimental worked so debian maintainers are already on it. |
Created attachment 127917 [details] segfaulting pdf SUMMARY I have a few pdfs on which okular crashes with a segfault. All of them are from the same source (Inria), I tried random other pdfs which all worked fine. Other programs (the other pdfs always worked fine): - evince opens them without issue - the calibre ebook viewer fails to open and says "failed to initialize plugin DeDRM [some trace] UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udc90' in position 6: surrogates not allowed" - libreoffice says "the signature is OK but the certificate could not be validated", clicking "show signatures" makes it complain about non existing XXXX.tmp files in the pdf's directory So the issue seems linked to signatures but I don't know enough about how that stuff works to be sure. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open attached file 2. witness crash OBSERVED RESULT crash EXPECTED RESULT view pdf SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: linux 3.3.0-2-amd64 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0 Qt Version: 5.12.5
