221695 - Thunderbird crashes when opening an encrypted mail message

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 223600

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Pekka K. Kurki]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030615
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 (20030904)

Thunderbird crashes when opening an encrypted mail message. A mail with digital
signature and encryption crashes TB when read, a mail just digital signature
alone works OK. The same message can be read on Mozilla 1.4 OK. The certificates
seem to be OK and accessable. Sending encrypted mails works OK. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an encrypted and signed mail to yourself
2. Get it from POP server
3. Try to open the mail message

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird windows disappear w/o error message

Expected Results:  
The mail message should be displayed

I have also seen this, but I get the following error message:

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the JVM manager
System error?:: Unknown error: 0

Comment 2

[mark]

Sorry, should add my build ID etc shouldn't I:

Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 (20030914)

This is a FreeBSD 5.1 box and thunderbird was compiled from the ports collection.

Comment 3

[Pekka K. Kurki]

I get the error message "INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the JVM
manager", too...

Comment 4

[Nick Lawes]

I'm getting a similar error message, on thunderbird 0.3 (20031014) under RedHat
9 / KDE.

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the JVM manager
System error?:: Success

It appears to attacment related for me rather than digital signatures. I have
several linux and one windows thunderbird pointing at the same LDAP server. Only
one fails, the rest work, suggesting it's configuration/environment related.

I will leave the failing one alone for now, in case anyone can think of some
tests that should be performed.

I'm seeing this as well.  Doing IMAP to a UW server, running under FreeBSD
4.8-STABLE.  Thunderbird 0.3 compiled from ports.

Thunderbird exits immediately when it hits some PGP signed messages.  It doesn't
seem to mind all PGP signed messages, just some.

I'll attach the offending message to this bug.

Comment 6

[Carl Makin]

Attachment: Raw mbox format mail message triggering bug.

This is cut from my inbox.  It is the raw message that Thunderbird dies on each
time it opens it.

Comment 7

[Carl Makin]

Attachment: Raw mbox pgp signed mail that DOESN'T cause the problem.

This is a PGP signed message that doesn't cause Thunderbird to crash, however
it doesn't seem to appear flagged as PGP signed within Thunderbird either.

Comment 8

[Scott MacGregor]

Carl are you running with the enigmail extension to enable PGP support or this
is a pure thunderbird crash with no enigmail when viewing a PGP message?

Comment 9

[Carl Makin]

Hi Scott,

No enigmail extension.  The only extensions I have are "RAF" (opens and closes
the preview pane) and "addressContext" (which is disabled).

I can try installing the enigmail extension if you like?

Comment 10

[Scott MacGregor]

that's ok. since enigmail is not installed, this crash is a thunderbird issue :)

Comment 11

[Pekka K. Kurki]

I was using in my original error case  standard certificate from an CA (TC Trust
Center) an the encryption module: NSS internal PKCS #11, no plugins, no PGP

Comment 12

[Scott MacGregor]

I wonder if this is linux only. Using the 11/19 windows build, the example
message does not crash for me.

Comment 13

[Carl Makin]

I guess you mean Unix only.  I'm running FreeBSD, which is not a distribution of
Linux. :)

Comment 14

[Mickey Stein]

I hope this is of some help, but the bad news is that I didn't crash. This is
from a debug build of today's cvs (25-nov), and here's my mozconfig:

Also I posted this here because I replied this to you on mozillazine and it
appears not to have gone, (perhaps the msg size?).

Sorry, but on the above stacktrace, I meant to add:

Distro: Fedora  core 1
GCC 3.3.2-2
Glibc 2.3.2-101.1
Kernel: 2.6.0-test10-bk1

Comment 16

[Scott MacGregor]

Hmm I wonder if this is FreeBSD specific? Thanks a lot Yek for trying to get me
a debug stack trace on Linux. Shame it did not co-operate and crash for us.

Comment 17

[Carl Makin]

Any hints on making the damn thing generate a core?

I recompiled it with DEBUG on and ran it with the -g option which threw it into
gdb but still got no backtrace when it crashed.  Here is what it said;

hmmm, so I've just removed the link to the java browser plugin in
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins and Thunderbird now doesn't crash.  It can read
the messages in FreeBSD-Gnome from Joe Marcus Clarke that were making it crash
reliably before.

I'm running the FreeBSD native JDK 1.4.2p5 which only has the NS610 plugin. 
This plugin is working fine in Mozilla 1.5 and Firebird 0.7 (also all natively
compiled).

Comment 18

[Scott MacGregor]

That's odd. Thunderbird does not support plugins. We explicitly disable them and
the windows build does not even package up the plugin module. 

I wonder how the Unix build is even able to find the java plugin, it shouldn't.
I also didn't see any code in the raw message that should cause a plugin to try
to get invoked. Very weird.

Comment 19

[Carl Makin]

Well, it says it's trying to load plugins.  Here some lines extracted from the
debug output;

Related/dup of bug 223600 and bug 224291?

Comment 21

[Pekka K. Kurki]

Attachment: mail including a flash that crashes Thunderbird 0.4

Now I updated to version 0.4 - and even more messages crash Thundirbird now. At
least the mail I have incuded (which includes a flash) crash Thunderbird. Also
a mail including a Powerpoint presentation crashes Thunderbird 0.4

Comment 22

[Scott MacGregor]

mail with plugins crash tbird on linux
