[gentoo-user] Mozilla won't start after upgrading to 1.7.13

[gentoo-user] Mozilla won't start after upgrading to 1.7.13

[Roman Zilka]

Hi all!

A couple weeks ago I upgraded mozilla from 1.7.12-r? -> 1.7.13
on a box running gentoo-hardened@x86 (only lastest stable versions
of packages installed).
Upon running the "mozilla" cmd I get the obligatory "No running
windows found" msg and that's all I see mozilla do. Nothing shows up, no
windows, no msgs. The running processes can be easily sigTERM'd. I
straced "mozilla" and it ends up at (yes, the output is "cut" right there):

...
<lots of rt_sigprocmask() calls>
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x8004599e, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x4009e1e8}, {SIG_DFL},
8) = 0
waitpid(-1, 

Okay, I downgraded mozilla back to 1.7.12 which had run fine before and
even this once greatly functioning 1.7.12 mozilla suddenly didn't work.
The same problem, the same strace result.
Upgraded to 1.7.13 again, no change. Deleted the
~/.mozilla and ~/.gtk* stuff, no difference.
Does anyone have an idea how can I fix this? Big thanks
in adavnce for any pointer or hint.

A fine day's wishes

I have 1.7.13 installed on regular x86 & can start from the CLI :
it shows your message above, but does open up & I can goto WWW sites.
Is it some restriction in gentoo-hardened ?

Hmmm... So a question from another angle: is there anyone here running
gentoo-hardened with mozilla 1.7.13 functioning properly?

Hi!
 
 Good question. I also emerged mozilla 1.7.13 but it does not work. I can start it but it hangs when opening a page. I used epiphany but it does the same strange stuff. I installed the gnome 2.14 yesterday, may be something went wrong? ;)

Hi,
Currently i don't have a X-enabled hardened system (only a router).
Would suggest at least two/three ways to check things.
1.start mozilla from a console, check/post error logs;
2.use 'strace' to start mozilla, post strace logs.
3.Same but use some debugger (gdb, other).
Check PaX flags on mozilla binary (chpax (deprecated) paxctl).
Check/alter any grsec settings, through /proc (if enabled).

Just in case this piece of information might be of some use: I don't
even have Gnome installed (just some necessary basics like libgnome-1.4.2),
I'm testing under Xfce4 which is also GTK-powered...that reminds
me I haven't yet experimented under twm. If it helps, I'll post it here.

I already wrote about these two; no errors appear in any log or the
console. strace's novel finishes with:

.............
<lots of rt_sigprocmask() calls>
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x8004599e, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x4009e1e8}, {SIG_DFL},
8) = 0
waitpid(-1, 

(the output is really "cut" right there).

What exactly should I look for in gdb? The binary is stripped, shall I
rebuild?

I have some grsec's features compiled in the kernel, but no additional
tuning has been made. This sounds likely a cause, thank
you for the tip, I'll check this stuff out as soon as I can.

Just finished testing: this didn't help either. I even experimented
with the 2.6.14.7 and 2.6.16.18 vanillas under twm, no difference. The
same strace story.

Thank you for your time spent so far.
