Package: evince Version: 2.22.2-1 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
A pdf file that i tried to read recently causes evince to send what
appears to be raw binary data to stderr. A transcript of this
activity is shown below, along with the output of pdfinfo on the pdf
itself.
This behavior seems potentially dangerous, given that some terminal
emulators (at least rxvt-unicode, in my testing here) interpret
certain binary data as a form of instructions about how to manipulate
the terminal itself (this perhaps suggests another bug on
rxvt-unicode).
At any rate, i don't see a way to interpret this data cleanly, so it's
not clear to me what the advantage is to be gained by dumping it in
binary form to stderr.
I'm attaching the evince-output file to this message so you can see
it.
Unfortunately, the document itself that i discovered this in is not
mine to post to a public bug tracker. If an evince developer or
packager wants to see the file, i can check with the original author
of the file to see if this document (or an anonymized version) can be
published or at least shown to the developers. Please let me know if
i should pursue this.
Thanks for maintaining evince in debian,
