#8284 closed defect (fixed)

running tracepath inside VM crashes virtualbox

Reported by: Sam Morris Owned by:
Component: network/hostif Version: VirtualBox 4.0.0
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Windows

Description

Running the 'tracepath' command from iputils 3:20100418-3 inside a VM running Debian 6.0 (linux 2.6.32) causes VirtualBox to instantly freeze, in such a severe manner that it is not even possible to kill it via the task manager. The host must be rebooted in order to recover.

I can confirm that this problem still exists in version 4.0.2

I can also confirm that this is present as a problem on Virtualbox 4.0.4 with a gentoo host and gentoo client.

I can confirm this bug on Gentoo Linux (host) running VirtualBox 4.0.8 r71778 with two Scientific Linux 6.0 (RHEL fork) guests tracepath-ing each other via an internal network using paravirtualized network devices.

Confirmed, at the end I was stuck with a zombie process consuming almost all CPU - had to force reboot using Sysrq since even the host wouldn't go down.

Virtualbox 4.1.2 64bit host, 32 bit guests, virtio_net. Using recent kernels and userland.

Can't reproduce. Since there are reports for various host OSes I assume this plays no role, and I made my test with Debian 5.0 as the host, and Debian 6.0 as the guest. Networking mode was "bridged", and I used a wired Gbit ethernet card. I could get paths with up to 21 hops, without any trouble. Tried 4.0.14 and latest svn sources.

I had the same problem with 4.0.12. Updated to 4.1.4 and the problem is gone. It looks like this bug can be closed as fixed.

Does (or was) it depend on attachment of device to wireless or ethernet one?

comment:9 by Sam Morris, 12 years ago

Confirming that I can no longer reproduce this in VirtualBox 4.1.4.
