Bug 339605 – app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-3.1.8 and -3.2.8 segfault as unprivileged user but run as root with dev-libs/openssl-1.0.0a-r3

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniela Taubert 2010-10-03 15:59:16 UTC]

As long as dev-libs/openssl-1.0.0a-r3 is installed, app-emulation/virtualbox-bin (tested with versions 3.1.8 and 3.2.8) does not run as unprivileged user, but segfaults. Runs fine as root, though.

Problem does not occur with dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8o.

No problem either with openssl-1.0.0a-r3 and virtualbox-ose-3.1.8.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) upgrade to openssl-1.0.0a-r3
2) run revdep-rebuild
3) find out that virtualbox-bin doesn't run as normal user anymore, but segfaults
4) downgrade to openssl-0.9.8o
5) run revdep-rebuild
6) virtualbox-bin works again

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
see above

[Comment 1 SpanKY 2010-10-03 19:13:09 UTC]

probably because you've set up your nss to look up in ldap

no interest in debugging a binary-only package

[Comment 2 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2010-11-01 17:27:19 UTC]

Is this still an issue with virtualbox-bin-3.2.10?

[Comment 3 Daniela Taubert 2010-11-02 16:58:03 UTC]

yes, still segfaults if openssl-1.0.0a-r3 is installed

I know nothing has been done gentoo-side on this, but... almost 3 years later, many versions of vbox and openssl have come and gone, is this problem still occurring?

[Comment 5 Ben Kohler 2013-11-16 16:09:38 UTC]

Please reopen this if you are still able to reproduce.
