We did update ghostscript, but I suspect there will be many more issues discovered in the future.
Ideally, we'd keep postscript disabled, but I do understand postscript documents are still being used by our users and disabling postscript support would be viewed as a regression. As such, I think we can re- enable it for now but keep the option to turn it off if it becomes problematic again in the future. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790609 Title: Update evince to 3.28.4 Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in evince source package in Bionic: New Bug description: [Impact] New release in the stable 3.28 series. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/commits/gnome-3-28 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/blob/gnome-3-28/NEWS [Test Case] 1. Install new evince version 2. try opening multiple pdf and ps files, ensure no obvious regression is visible. [Regression Potential] The visible regression potential is the enable-ps (see comment below), otherwise, the new evince upstream release has been released a while ago with no post-release fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/commits/gnome-3-28 [Other Info] Please add --enable-ps to the build options since this version disables viewing Postscript files as a workaround for security issues in Ghostscript. We should fix Ghostscript instead.
