This is now fixed both upstream in libexiv2 0.27.5 with https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/pull/1918/commits/8a1e949bff482f74599f60b8ab518442036b1834 and in Gwenview for version 21.12.1 with https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/commit/91fcbe9c63c17bc20dbb3dd90e0451997f1c78a6 by Lukáš Karas.
The fix in Gwenview has not been merged into master and will not be present for example in future Gwenview 22.04 because we expect packagers to have shipped the fixed libexiv2 versions by the time Gwenview 22.04 is released. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to exiv2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941752 Title: Regression: exiv2 0.27.3-3ubuntu1.5 makes Gwenview crash when opening images exported by darktable Status in Gwenview: Fix Released Status in exiv2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gwenview package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since the recent security update of exiv2, Gwenview crashes when trying to open image files that got exported by darktable. Steps to reproduce: * Make a test installation of Kubuntu 21.04 in VirtualBox * Install all updates * Install darktable * Copy one of the images in /usr/share/wallpapers (or any other image) to your home directory and open it with darktable * Within darktable, export a copy of the image (no need to do any actual modifications) * Try to open that copy with Gwenview. Gwenview will crash. I'm attaching a crash report hinting that this is related to exiv2. Temporary workaround: If I downgrade libexiv2-27 to 0.27.3-3ubuntu1.4, Gwenview doesn't crash, so it seems the crash is related to changes in 0.27.3-3ubuntu1.5. I don't know if the underlying cause is actually some bug in exiv2, Gwenview or darktable.
