Package: gs-esp Version: 8.15.3.dfsg.1-2 Severity: important Tags: patch An Ubuntu user reported a gs-esp crash with pdfwrite on sparc: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gs-esp/+bug/76749
Investigating the bug I found what seems to me clearly erroneous code in gdevpdfo.c:cos_dict_equal. I have reported this upstream at: http://www.cups.org/espgs/str.php?L2199+P0+S-2+C0+I0+E0+Q and am removing the offending line in Ubuntu. I think Debian should apply the attached patch in (at least) etch and sid. Without it the code will sometimes have undefined behaviour. It's probably not a security problem but will cause crashes some of the time.
