Description Filip Andres 2019-04-04 10:27:44 UTC

Description of problem:
dmenu doesn't check the return value of the XOpenIM call and uses the return value when calling XCreateIC (inside of which it's attempted to be dereferenced).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 29 (but probably others too)

How reproducible:
Always, by running dmenu

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run dmenu
2. when the menu appears push any button 

Actual results:
Crash

Expected results:


Additional info:
Upstream fixed the error in commits:
https://git.suckless.org/dmenu/commit/f5036b90efd9423d805923a0bc73cd54e30e72ab.html
https://git.suckless.org/dmenu/commit/a9b1de384ae1ad30805e893af5cd6ea9b87c89da.html
https://git.suckless.org/dmenu/commit/db6093f6ec1bb884f7540f2512935b5254750b30.html

The commits were published after packaging took place in fedora and upstream didn't publish a new version but updated the source tarball.
