The backslashes were caused by a bug in cups-browsed (package cups- filters) which I have already fixed before release of 16.10. So after once removing these entries manually, they should not show up again and show the crash should not occur again.
But in general, CUPS has no sufficien protection against too long info/description strings. This should get reported as upstream bug on http://www.cups.org/. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1635856 Title: cupsd 2.2.0-2 crashed with SIGABRT in __malloc_assert() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1635856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
