1.8.0-jumbo-1 definitely had several issues.
But after the 1.8.0-jumbo-1 release, I discovered and reported lots of
such issues, and Jim fixed them all, IIRC.
See, for instance,
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/search?q=segfault&type=Issues&utf8=%E2%9C%93
I used Alexander's fuzzing scripts, or slightly modified versions of his
scripts.
So, I think, the situation is now (latest bleeding-jumbo) way better
than it has been for 1.8.0-jumbo-1.
There might have been new bugs introduced meanwhile, and the GPU formats
didn't get tested that much, so these might still have some more bugs,
even though there was some effort to unify the CPU and GPU format
implementations of valid(), prepare(), etc.
Plus, LUKS format is probably still buggy, but there are more important
things to be addressed for this format, see
