Burp 1.7.03 fatal error core dumped

Hello, I am not able to run burpsuite pro 1.7.03 at my Linux machine. It crashes after I choose to create a new project and choosing "Use Burp Defaults" and pressing "Start Burp". This is my java version: # java -version Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=gasp java version "1.7.0_101" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.6) (Arch Linux build 7.u101_2.6.6-1-x86_64) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.95-b01, mixed mode) This is the error that I get when I ran it from the command line: # java -jar burpsuite_pro_v1.7.03.jar Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=gasp # # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f4002abf953, pid=7395, tid=139912444585728 # # JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (7.0_101) (build 1.7.0_101-b00) # Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (24.95-b01 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops) # Derivative: IcedTea 2.6.6 # Distribution: Custom build (Mon May 2 15:33:26 UTC 2016) # Problematic frame: # C [libjava.so+0x18953] Java_java_nio_Bits_copyToShortArray+0x1e3 # # Core dump written.

Hi Merk Thanks for your message. We've had some reports of native crashes in the OpenJDK when using memory-mapped files, which are used for disk-based projects. Please can you try switching to Oracle Java and let us know if that works any better. Alternatively, you can use JDK9 and apply this patch: - http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk/rev/9ecb10ce62c6 We are currently in the process of verifying this fix, however, another user has implemented it successfully.

Thanks for your response Liam. I will change to oracle java or JDK9 if it is no pain to do it and doesn't break anything else in my system :)

Hi Merk If it isn't an issue, we would recomend using Oracle Java.

Hello again, I don't want to use the Oracle Java as it is not managed by the native package manager. I changed my environment to use OpenJRE8 and it works fine.

Thanks for the update Merk, we're glad you resolved your issue.

Hi. The problem still persists it seems, even with openjdk8. It doesn't crash whenever I chose to create a temporary project..

Liam, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: May 20, 2016 12:30PM UTC

Hi Merk You could try to backport the patch to JDK8 - http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk/rev/9ecb10ce62c6. Or use JDK9 - https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8140630.

Hi Jacint Thanks for your message. Yours is the first report of a similar issue with Oracle Java. Please let us know if you have any further issues.

Had the same exact issue. Tested the Oracle java but wouldn't even go pass the project creation dialog. Decided to try sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk and it seems to be working fine so far
