Details

Description: With the last pinentry upgrade came a new problem. The entry window crashes if it looses focus while waiting for input. I can reproduce it every time, if I focus another window it will crash. I am using pinentry-gtk2. Rebuilding the package didn't help.

Additional info:
* Packages: pinentry 0.7.6-1, ncurses 5.7-2, libcap 2.16-3
* GTK version: gtk2 2.16.5-1
* System log:
kernel: pinentry-gtk-2[7311]: segfault at 50 ip b7c675be sp bfabc8c0 error 4 in libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1600.5[b7c09000+88000]

Still happens with pinentry 0.7.6 and gtk2 2.18.3. Problem only appears if the "no-grab" option is used (i.e. in gpg-agent.conf).

Reproducing the problem:

$ echo "GETPIN" | pinentry-gtk-2 -g

- it segfaults on focus change
- avoiding the problem is a matter of omitting -g

There is a fix for this issue here (but is for old version 0.7.4): http://marc.info/?l=gpa-dev&m=120198836601383&w=2

I can still reproduce this bug.

That code is already in 0.7.6 (and it doesn't make a difference as we already know).
