[Bug 1391857] Re: libcairo segfaults when rendering video streams, e.g. youtube videos in webkit base browsers

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

Considering the amount of fixes that libcairo 1.14 includes (while there
are no API changes compared to what we already have), it would probably
better to backport the whole new version instead of just cherry picking
this fix.

Title:
  libcairo segfaults when rendering video streams, e.g. youtube videos
  in webkit base browsers

Bug description:
  The libcairo version (1.13) that is used on Ubuntu 14.04 contains a
  bug the leads to a segementation fault (see
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81699) when rendering
  certain video streams.  E.g. webkit based browser that render Youtube
  videos will eventually crash.

  The bug has been fixed upstream, libcairo 1.14 does not segfault, so
  it would be very desirable that the libcairo2 package in Ubuntu gets
  updated to version 1.14 of libcairo.
