Ubuntu 12.04 grsec - Segmentation fault

[Leblanc Simon]

Hi,

after hours of search, I solved a problem with wkhtmltopdf and my Linux server. When I try to convert a html file to PDF, wkhtmltopdf segfault always.

I've try a lot of solutions found on Google, I've try to compile my own binary. Nothing to fix my segfault.

After seen /var/log/syslog, the segmentation fault is always related with grsec (<http://grsecurity.net/>)

My server is a Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS and my kernel is 3.10.23-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64

# cat /etc/issue

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS \n \l

# uname -a

Linux hostname 3.10.23-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 9 19:06:18 CET 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've installed paxctl and allow wkhtmltopdf to have more permissions

# apt-get paxctl

# paxctl -C /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

# paxctl -permsx /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

Since : no segmentation fault

If this post can save some time to an another simple user...

Just try it out. :-) I encountered no problem with linux mint nadia
which is ubuntu 12.10. Untar it and put the binaries somewhere in your path.

The OP has a problem as he has a non-standard kernel.
