Hi Filling for tracking the upstream issue BZ#27256: > Tavis Ormandy reported that when converting from ISO-2022-JP-3 to > UTF-8, the gconv module could trigger an assertion failure in > iconv/skeleton.c if the second wide character in a two-wide-character > sequence cannot be written to the output buffer during character set > conversion. > > If glibc is built with assertions, this assertion failure can > typically be triggered by applications (such as mail clients) which > use the glibc iconv subsystem for MIME character set processing. Regards, Salvatore
