Bug 497226 – net-libs/libotr-4.0.0 with kde-base/kopete - segmentation fault while sending OTR message

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Till Schäfer 2014-01-06 09:45:53 UTC]

libotr 4.0.0 contains a bug that leads to a crash in kopete when sending a otr encrypted message. 

shortly after the 4.0.0 release there was a fix submitted here: 
http://sourceforge.net/p/otr/libotr/ci/master/tree/src/message.c?diff=939e74d3d6b2913beeb2d2718bebaab3f033577b

there is also a kde bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328999

we should apply this patch to libotr

Reproducible: Always

Kopete containing the workaround is in the tree, so nothing left to do for KDE team.

At the moment, you can't build kopete-4.12.5 (in stable) with otr because it depends on the masked version of libotr.

Does it work with libotr-4.1.0 and kopete-4.14.3?

Looks fine to me. I am using them on a regular basis. While I encouter rare crashes with OTR (last time was several ago), I doubt that they are related to this particular fix.

[Comment 5 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) 2015-06-01 11:01:30 UTC]

All versions <kopete-4.14.3 have been removed.

Please report back if the bug still exists with recent versions.
