Elevated this to critical because the thumbnailer service is permanently toast if someone actually does add a GIF image that blows the memory limits imposed by the OOM watchdog.
If that happens in the field, it's good-bye thumbnailer service whenever any app or scope asks for a thumbnail for the offending file. The bug will be rare but, when it strikes, it's absolutely fatal. ** Changed in: thumbnailer (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Critical -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to thumbnailer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527315 Title: Attached gif downloaded from telegram takes out the phone as thumbnailer hogs the memory and cpu Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: STEPS: 1. drop the attached gif into the Photo's folder 2. Open gallery 3. Refresh the photo's scope ISSUE: The gif I think causes thumbnailer to loop, Memory usage jump 4% each loop until oom takes out the app but thumbnailer is still stuck in it's loop so eventually the scopes are all taken out, At that point thumbnailer is stopped and the system returns to normal with the exception that there is now a black space where the scopes used to be.
