Fatal error detected by the JRE

flawseeker | Last updated: Sep 26, 2022 01:26PM UTC

Hi, From last mid-august, I started having crashes from Burp Pro that shows in the command line: # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # Internal Error (relocInfo_x86.cpp:106), pid=7789, tid=7871 # Error: ShouldNotReachHere() # # JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (17.0.2+8) (build 17.0.2+8-86) # Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (17.0.2+8-86, mixed mode, tiered, compressed oops, compressed class ptrs, g1 gc, linux-amd64) # Problematic frame: # V [libjvm.so+0xc80c9a] Relocation::pd_call_destination(unsigned char*)+0x9a # # No core dump will be written.

Step to reproduce: 1/ Download latest kali for virtualbox: https://kali.download/virtual-images/kali-2022.3/kali-linux-2022.3-virtualbox-amd64.7z 2/ Download and install latest Burp 3/ Start Burp Pro (with temporary project, but I had it with saved ones too), then wait for the crash. To speed it up, you can navigate with firefox with Burp as a proxy to populate history in it. Sometimes it appears after 10 minutes, sometimes as long as you start Burp, and you cannot even start a temporary project. Technical details: Burp Pro: stable v2022.8.4 (latest) Kali version (virtualbox guest): 2022.3 (latest and fully updated) Virtualbox: 6.1 Host: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (latest and fully updated) VM has 2 cores and 4G of RAM. In my opinion it is a Burp bug, as the JRE stated in the output is 17, whereas the kali default is 11. So it is executed with the one provided by Burp. I'd be happy to share the content of replay_pid7789.log (9,000 lines) as soon as you confirm it doesn't contain sensitive information such as the license file content (and it shouldn't).

Hi Could you tell me the specific version of VirtualBox that you are using? We've recently had a user report an issue with Burp crashing on older versions of VirtualBox. They resolved their issue by updating VirtualBox to the latest version - v6.1.38.

Hi, Thanks for your answer. My virtualbox version is Version 6.1.34_Ubuntu r150636. I'll try upgrading it and keep you posted. Best regards

Hi, I upgraded to VirtualBox Version 6.1.38_Ubuntu r153438, and Burp hasn't crashed for a week. So I guess this was the issue, even if I didn't expect it. Many thanks for your support, the bug can be considered closed!
