GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 583448
Crash on exif data
Last modified: 2019-02-22 03:15:32 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Open an image (a folder with some images inside) 2. Switch multiple times to next image 3. It will crash randomly on an image (seems that it doesn't matter what image - sometimes an image works and sometimes it crashes with it) Stack trace: (gdb) thread apply all bt
+ Trace 215636
Thread 1 (Thread 0x7ff8729f3760 (LWP 22082))
Other information: libexif: 0.6.17 exempi: 2.1.0 eog: 2.26.2
This was a race condition between the statusbar-date plugin and the main application. Although the fault is partially with the plugin (it should not do image loading in it's own) this problem was made visible by a recent leak fix. Before that the race was not critical because the leak kept one exif instance alive. Fixed in master and gnome-2-26: commit 4730359e7547520fbcbd78e690e83958a00f7341 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Fri May 22 12:39:09 2009 +0200 Bug 583448 – Crash on exif data Secure Exif data updating with a mutex. Should fix crashes when reading the Exif block during the update. This was made visible be the leak fix from commit cb1e01983a6b273ba65b57449e5ab5f13c448658 . This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
