BURP Pro v2020.2 throws NullPointerException's and corrupts screen

Ilguiz | Last updated: Mar 02, 2020 07:35PM UTC

Collecting proxy history, running items in Repeater results in the screen update failures when clicking the mouse pointer on table rows in Proxy history. I see some broken screen redraw artifacts showing here and there (of approximate size 20x20 pixels). The stdout is full of null pointer exceptions, java.lang.NullPointerException at burp.cen.a(Unknown Source) at burp.cen.a(Unknown Source) at burp.cen.a(Unknown Source) at burp.cen.b(Unknown Source) at burp.cen.a(Unknown Source) at burp.cen.a(Unknown Source) at burp.d3d.a(Unknown Source) at burp.d3d.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI$RootView.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI.paintSafely(Unknown Source) at burp.ghr.paintSafely(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI.update(Unknown Source) at burp.fyc.paintComponent(Unknown Source) at burp.fyv.paintComponent(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintChildren(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JViewport.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintChildren(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintChildren(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintToOffscreen(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager$PaintManager.paintDoubleBuffered(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager$PaintManager.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.BufferStrategyPaintManager.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent._paintImmediately(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintImmediately(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager$4.run(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager$4.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.paintDirtyRegions(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.paintDirtyRegions(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.prePaintDirtyRegions(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.access$1200(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager$ProcessingRunnable.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$500(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)

Quickest way to reproduce: open a project, click Proxy, HTTP History, select the top row, observe Request / Raw. Click Response. Observe the background of couple letters in the title "Response" to darken. Clicking Headers or Hex, then Raw does not redraw the contents to the raw output.

Hi I've tried to reproduce your error on Windows and Mac but have been unable to. Were you using the platform installer or standalone .jar version? Which versions of Java were you seeing this issue with?

Ilguiz | Last updated: Mar 25, 2020 02:23PM UTC

I was using a standalone .jar. This might have been Oracle's 1.8.0_241-b07 and AdoptOpenJDK 13. This disappeared with the latest .jar v2020.2.1.

Ilguiz | Last updated: Mar 25, 2020 02:28PM UTC

This was a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise over a remote desktop connection. I no longer see the issue with v2020.2.1 of the jar.
