GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 63026
SSL webpages cause reproducible crash
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Using Galeon 0.12.5, linked against Mozilla 0.9.5, the modssl.org browser test webpage at https://www.modssl.org/example/test.phtml causes a reproducible crash. I can visit the above webpage just fine with the Mozilla I'm linking against. It returns data about the SSL connection that that Mozilla creates, so I know SSL works in that Mozilla. The GNOME libraries I'm using are the ones released by Sun, if you need to know that. Both Mozilla and galeon were built by yours truly from source, using gcc 2.95.2. This is the first time I've used galeon, so there were no old/stale preferences to get in the way. At the bottom is the stack trace; I'm not sure how useful it will be to you, since the mozilla libraries don't have any debugging symbols. This is also clearly just one thread, and I'm not sure how to get more information from the core dump as to what the other threads were doing at the time. If you need more information, please e-mail me, and I'll certainly do whatever I'm able to help fix this problem...

I cannot reproduce this one
do you have a .galeon/mozilla/galeon directory ?
Yes. See the listing below: [63] kph@cicero:~ > ls -l ~/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/ total 206 drwxr-xr-x 2 kph acstuds 6144 Oct 29 18:33 Cache drwxr-xr-x 3 kph acstuds 512 Oct 24 16:41 US -rw-r--r-- 1 kph acstuds 5757 Oct 24 16:41 bookmarks.html -rw------- 1 kph acstuds 32768 Oct 24 16:41 cert7.db drwxr-xr-x 2 kph acstuds 512 Oct 24 16:41 chrome -rw-r--r-- 1 kph acstuds 1329 Oct 29 18:33 cookies.txt -rw------- 1 kph acstuds 32768 Oct 24 16:41 key3.db -rw-r--r-- 1 kph acstuds 6092 Oct 24 16:41 localstore.rdf -rw-r--r-- 1 kph acstuds 1080 Oct 24 16:41 mimeTypes.rdf -rw-r--r-- 1 kph acstuds 2169 Oct 24 16:41 panels.rdf -rw-r--r-- 1 kph acstuds 731 Oct 29 18:37 prefs.js -rwxr-xr-x 1 kph acstuds 2335 Oct 24 16:41 search.rdf -rw------- 1 kph acstuds 40960 Oct 24 16:41 secmod.db
can you try to galeon-config-tool --clean or to run with a new user ? Also please try to run with root
The stack trace changes for 0.12.6 to the following:
+ Trace 13026
This occurs when I run it as a user who just logged in to GNOME for the first time, and had thus never run galeon before -- as well as when I use my normal user account.
does not segfault here galeon 0.12.7 debian-sid linux 2.4.14 384mb ram mozilla-browser 0.9.5-5
i wont be surprised if its Solaris specific
Very likely to be a solaris issue. psm on solarais was a bit behind in the past, don't know about now. This site has a non-standard cert, so it's possible that the displaying of the cert confirmation dialog is the problem; one which we had a long time ago. Can you try visiting a site which uses a trusted cert and see if you still have problems?
I recall that the PSM on Solaris was behind when it was a separate package, but now that it's integrated into the tree it shouldn't be. Especially not since I built the whole thing. And besides, the page works perfectly in Mozilla, leading me to believe it's _not_ a Mozilla issue. Yes, the same segfault and stack trace occurs on https://www.firstunion.com/FrontLineLogin.html which has a cert issued by RSA Data Security, Inc. Similarly at amazon.com. Strangely enough, on https://www.mail.duke.edu/silkymail/imp/login.php3 (cert issued by Thawte), it doesn't crash, it just does absolutely nothing. Similarly with https://webacct.acpub.duke.edu. Mozilla (again, the same one this galeon is linked against) displays all these pages with only the standard entering-a-secure-page complaint. I'll try 0.12.7 at work tomorrow.
in any case its a crash in mozilla and its embedding , try TestGtkEmbed from moz sources and file a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org
Nope, all of the aforementioned pages are viewable with no problems in TestGtkEmbed.
you mean the certificat dialog popus up without difficulties ? and you confirm and so on...?
sorry for the spam but have you tried removing your .galeon/mozilla directory
Yes. The dialogs pop up just fine, I confirm, it displays the pages. I didn't actually examine the certificate, because I'd seen it before, but I did get that option. Since this happened to a user who was running galeon for the first time, I'm convinced that removing my .galeon/mozilla directory would not solve anything. See the comments with the second stack trace.
Has this bug been invalided by the months that have passed? NEEDINFO until I know it's still an issue.
Please reopen if this is still valid. This bug is too old.
