segfault on Debian 10(testing)

[nixx-geek]

When I try to connect to one of my VPN profiles as a regular user I receive the following error: kernel: openfortigui[4835]: segfault at 8 ip 0000560415ad0f94 sp 00007ffc3facc370 error 4 in openfortigui[560415a91000+d5000] kernel: Code: 8b 07 83 f8 01 76 0f 48 8d 7c 24 20 e8 35 c2 ff ff 48 8b 7c 24 20 48 8b 47 10 48 85 c0 0f 84 eb 09 00 00 48 8b 4c 24 10 31 d2 <8b> 49 08 eb 13 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 48 89 c2 48 8b 40 08 48 85 c0

It works fine after I copy the profiles under /root/.openfortigui/vpnprofiles

This is how is intended to work?

There is a fix underway that hopefully correct this problem.

The problem is the different behavior of sudo between debian and ubuntu and a bug in openfortigui that dont passes the config path to starting vpn processes. Stay tuned.

The new Release 0.7.2.2 should fix it now, please have a try.

is still present on 0.7.2.2

Same in Ubuntu 19.10:

[  757.652285] openfortigui[9204]: segfault at 8 ip 00005599169dcc74 sp 00007ffc86096d80 error 4 in openfortigui[559916992000+e9000]

As mentioned by @cdstg copying the user profile to /root/ fixes the problem

Same in Ubuntu 19.04 and OpenFortiGUI 0.8.0, though it had worked well end of July (pretty sure it was the same version of OpenFortiGUI).

Unfortunately, copying user profile to /root/.openfortigui/vpnprofiles did not work, neither copying them to /etc/openfortigui/vpnprofiles.

I have these messages in profile logs:

INFO:   Start tunnel.
INFO:   Connected to gateway.
ERROR:  Could not authenticate to gateway (HTTP status code).
INFO:   Closed connection to gateway.
INFO:   Logged out.

Also having same issue in Ubuntu 19.10 and OpenFortiGUI 0.8.0.

I encountered this for for the first time on Ubuntu 19.10 today. It looks like the issue is caused by changes to the policy defaults for sudo on Debian 10+ and Ubuntu 19.10+.

I have made a pullrequest that resolves this issue for me. More testing, particularly on unaffected distros would be appreciated:

Hi, there is now a new build 0.8.1 which has a optional flag in Settings that enables the workaround via -E sudo flag. Just enable the setting an try again. Thanks so far for your feedback. Cheers Rene

Version 0.8.1 with the option enabled, fixes the issue for me.
