From ${URL} :

It was reported that file-roller will start eating CPU and the application will freeze if a crafted 
.zip file opened.

There's not fix available yet.


@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

According to upstream, this applied to 3.4 but does not appear to be a problem with 3.16. I tested with 3.18 and it does not cause any problem either.
Comment 2 Aaron Bauman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-07-19 11:25:40 UTC
Unable to reproduce with current versions in tree, 3.16.5 and 3.20.2.
