Bug#830565: evince: Segmentation fault in Evince when searching after opening a PDF

[Erik Brangs]

Package: evince
Version: 3.14.1-2+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to use Evince to search in a PDF. After opening the PDF and pressing CTRL+F, I entered a single letter into the search bar. After this, evince crashed with a segmentation fault.

Unfortunately, I needed to remove the pdf name and some text from the backtrace due to privacy concerns. If they would be helpful for you, please let me know and I will send the information to you via private mail.

I could also report the bug upstream if it's still present in current versions and if you tell me where I should do that.

The backtrace looks like this:

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
Core was generated by `evince $PDFNAME'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
