Chrome 79 always starts a core dump and crashes

cniederr · December 13, 2019

Since the last update of the chrome browser to version 79.0.3945.79 it always starts a core dump after a few seconds and crashes. If i deinstall eset NOD32 Antivirus for Linux i have no entries in the syslog and chrome works as expected. If i install the ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux (64bit) Chrome browser crashes.

With the old version (cHrome 78) all works fine! Also a complete reinstall of the operating system (linux mint 19.2 - 64bit), do all updates, install browser first (at this momemt the brwoser works perfect) and finally install ESET Node32 Antivirus (64bit) for linux the problem with google chrome browser starts again, it starts a core dump and crashes.

It's weird since ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux desktop does not affect browsers at all. I'd suggest collecting logs as per the KB https://support.eset.com/en/run-the-info-getcommand-on-a-linux-virtual-machine-and-send-the-logs-to-eset-technical-support and supplying logs to customer care for perusal.

Try Chromium , It works fine here with NOD32 , but I've checked the version , the latest one for it is 78 , I don't know if things will change when 79 come

Darren · December 18, 2019

I have the same issue, the companies mandated Nod32 installed and Chrome 79 crashes within a few minutes of startup.

Chromium did work, until it updated yesterday from 78 to 79, but I've downgraded Chromium to 78 to continue working.

Do you have AppArmor turned on? Does disabling it make a difference?

No, makes no difference. Same issue

Same problem here - updated to the current (79.0.3945.88) Chrome on Fedora 31 this morning, and it consistently dumps core after a few seconds. If I stop the esets daemon, Chrome runs perfectly.

tg912 · December 19, 2019

The same issue,Chrome 79.0.3945.88.

Darren · December 19, 2019

I've tried a couple of exclusions, the binary and also the ~/.config/google-chrome folder (which wouldn't be a permanent solution) but neither seemed to help.

Guillaume Gautreau · December 24, 2019

Same problem with me on Ubuntu 18.04 with the latest versions of Chrome, Chromium and Brave.

I tried to

install the last version of ESET NOD32,
Disable the realtime protection of ESET

But I'm still experiencing the same issue.

Nightowl · December 29, 2019

It does run fine with me , weird

Steelskin · December 29, 2019

Here is the output of chrome when Esset is running, each crash causes a flash from the browser window. As mentioned, if you kill all esset processes chrome does not produce any of these errors. Perhaps eset is restricting access to some of the mentioned files ?

As you mentioned above, you were running version 78.xxx of chrome. That's why you don't see a problem. You need to be running the following versions of chrome to see this crash with eset running ..

79.0.3945.88-1 (or earlier versions of 79.xxx)

80.0.3987.16-1

81.0.4000.3-1

It is updated for now , and no crashes , it might be because of Chromium and not Chrome

Chromium

Version 79.0.3945.79 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit)

Hi, I got into the same issue with Google Chrome 79 and Eset for Linux 4.0.93.0

Starting Chrome with --no-sandbox inline option fixes the issue. You get a warning by Chrome that disabling sandboxing may reduce stability and security, so this is not a permanent solution.

So the issue seems related to some incompatibility/conflict between Chrome sandboxing and Eset antivirus.

Has support been able to reproduce and is dev team working on this issue yet? I'm getting complaints about this for Chrome 79 and also for Eclipse.

Steelskin · January 6, 2020

It's now the 6th Jan and Chrome is still crashing when the Eset_daemon is running. Does anybody know if anybody is working on this issue ?

In https://forum.eset.com/topic/21939-eset-nod32-google-chrome-79-crashes/ we stated that Endpoint v7 will address the issue. As for the home version of ESET NOD32 for Linux Desktop, there are currently no plans for a newer version. If there's some news on this, we'll let you know.

If there is no plan for updating ESET NOD32 for Linux Desktop then my plan will be to request ESET to refund the balance of my three year subscription on multiple licences.

What causes the issue? I'm a fan of eset and don't use the linux version just wondering why if there is a bug it wouldn't be fixed in all versions

ESET for Linux Desktop is legacy product , it's barely updated , only the modules.

but I have no problem with my Chromium and ESET, I wonder why.

Vrana · January 9, 2020

We have the same problem after upgrading Linux Mint to 19.3.

Vivaldi browser (using the same rednering core) is crashing as well.

Dmesg is full of the following messages:

[513715.793941] vivaldi-bin[21432]: segfault at 3b8 ip 00005626bd23e3b6 sp 00007ffce3bf7500 error 6 in vivaldi-bin[5626b902c000+72c3000]

The browser often freezes and then after several freezes it is terminated.

We use the latest version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 – 4.0.93.0.

Please, could you fix it?

Steelskin · January 9, 2020

If you run Chrome from the command line while the Eset daemon is running, Chrome produces the following sandbox error.

[5012:1:0109/230249.177870:ERROR:child_process_sandbox_support_impl_linux.cc(79)] FontService unique font name matching request did not receive a response.
[5012:1:0109/230249.178539:ERROR:child_process_sandbox_support_impl_linux.cc(79)] FontService unique font name matching request did not receive a response.

If you kill the Eset daemon 'sudo pkill esets' then you don't get the above error.
