Summary | 0003698: Armitage - Opening certain menu points of armitage leads to crash of user session and results in new login screen | ||||
Description | I tried to use Kali2016.2 on an Opensuse Leap 42.1 host as a KVM guest. However, there is a very strange problem with armitage, which does not appear in a Kali installation as a VMware guest on the very same Opensuse host. Behavior as a guest of KVM: This does not happen with the very same iso-image used for a VMware installation - neither dirctly after the installation nor after package upgrades. So somehow the whole problem is very specific for an installation of Kali2016.2 as a KVM guest. The crash like behaviour appears in the KVM Kali guest With both the packages of the original installation iso-image, but also with updated packages from the Kali rolling repository. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Steps to reproduce:
Result: Crash of present graphical session - a login screen opens - the armitage process is afterwards gone | ||||
Additional Information | During the start of armitage from a console the following errors appear : (java:3279): CRITICAL : atk_text_get_character_count: assertion 'ATK_IS_TEXT (text)' failed (java:3279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/glib2.0-94amRy/glib2.0-2.50.1/./gobject/gsignal.c:3492: signal name 'text_changed::delete' is invalid for instance '0x7f17fc0dbe20' of type 'JawImpl_4098' (java:3279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'JawImpl_4098' to 'AtkText' (java:3279): CRITICAL : atk_text_get_character_count: assertion 'ATK_IS_TEXT (text)' failed (java:3279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'JawImpl_4098' to 'AtkText' (java:3279): CRITICAL : atk_text_get_character_count: assertion 'ATK_IS_TEXT (text)' failed (java:3279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'JawImpl_4098' to 'AtkText' (java:3279): CRITICAL : atk_text_get_character_count: assertion 'ATK_IS_TEXT (text)' failed (java:3279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'JawImpl_4098' to 'AtkText' (java:3279): CRITICAL : atk_text_get_character_count: assertion 'ATK_IS_TEXT (text)' failed (java:3279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'JawImpl_4098' to 'AtkText' (java:3279): CRITICAL : atk_text_get_character_count: assertion 'ATK_IS_TEXT (text)' failed (java:3279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'JawImpl_4098' to 'AtkText' (java:3279): CRITICAL : atk_text_get_character_count: assertion 'ATK_IS_TEXT (text)' failed (java:3279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'JawImpl_4098' to 'AtkText' (java:3279): CRITICAL : atk_text_get_character_count: assertion 'ATK_IS_TEXT (text)' failed (java:3279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'JawImpl_4098' to 'AtkText' (java:3279): CRITICAL : atk_text_get_character_count: assertion 'ATK_IS_TEXT (text)' failed | ||||
After some more testing I should add that the described bug occurs for video card modell QXL, only. With a video modell vga or vmvga the graphical display of hosts AND the menues "Hosts" and "Attack" of armitage work as expected. With QXL the graphical view of the hosts is displayed - but the menu interacrion leads to the described crash and closure of the user's X11/Gnome session. |
|
It is definitely the KVM QXL interface. I installed a new Kali2016.2 KVM guest machine and logged in via ssh -X from the KVM host (here: Opensuse Leap 42.1 fully updated). So this is a kind of workaround for people who want to use armitage via a KVM guest installation of Kali2016.2 |
|
Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing,and also give information about your setup? |
