"invalidaccess -7" looks like a failure of Ghostscript. I tried to open the .eps file directly with Ghostscript and it gets correctly displayed. So I do no know how evince uses Ghostscript and so I cannot report an upstream bug in Ghostscript.
What I need is the data which evince feeds into Ghostscript and the Ghostscript command line which is used. If I can reproduce the Ghostscript failure by calling Ghostscript directly on the command line I can report an upstream bug to alert the Ghostscript developers about a possible regression caused by the security update. The Ghostscript developers could also easily determine whether the output of current libspectre is valid input for Ghostscript, if you provide an appropriate file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ghostscript in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1647917 Title: Invalid access when opening eps with ghostscript 9.19~dfsg+1-0ubuntu6.2 and libspectre 0.2.8 Status in libspectre: Unknown Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu: New Status in libspectre package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1. Install the latest Ubuntu security update for ghostscript (since this does not appear to have been released for zesty, it is a bit easier to do this from Ubuntu 16.10 than from 17.04). 2. Install libspectre1 0.2.8-1 (from zesty or zesty-proposed). 3. Open a .eps with Evince, Ubuntu's default viewer for eps files. Here's a test file: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libspectre/+bug/1348384/+attachment/4171120/+files/countrate.eps What happens: The .eps fails to display. If run from a terminal, this is output: invalidaccess -7 Earlier version of libspectre (I tested Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.10) still handle the test .eps file ok.
