Hi everyone,

one user debugged this and concluded that the crash is due to an
integer overflow in the gtk code:

   https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/8103

I prepared a patched version of gtk that should work solve this
bug, can any of you test it and confirm if it fixes the crashes in
evolution and/or other webkit-based packages?

These packages are for Debian stable (trixie), I can also provide
packages for bookworm or testing/sid if necessary.

Regards,
