phantomjs leaks out of the sandbox

[AustinSchuh]

When I run tests on Debian Buster, I get the following failure:

140302110000960:error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library:dso_dlfcn.c:185:filename(libssl_conf.so): libssl_conf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
140302110000960:error:25070067:DSO support routines:DSO_load:could not load the shared library:dso_lib.c:244:

140302110000960:error:0E076071:configuration file routines:MODULE_RUN:unknown module name:conf_mod.c:222:module=ssl_conf

From some targeted stracing, I'm seeing that the phantomjs binary is reading /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf. Buster upgrades openssl far enough that the config in /etc/ is too different and won't work. The correct fix is to provide an openssl.cfg with phantomjs that works.

This is blocking a debian upgrade for us, so I'll likely dig in and try to provide a fix.

got this error when chack the version of phantomjs in my debian system

Any solution to this yet?

[AustinSchuh]

My fixes were submitted in 2019. It was enough for me to operate on Debian Buster where I couldn't before.

[tobia]

Even quicker version of the hacky workaround:

export OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null

[JorgeLNH]

Thanks tobia, it worked.

[kcs-santoshahire]

I was also facing same issue,

Thanks @tobia its worked..!

[meiremans]

thanks @tobia

adding ENV OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null to a Dockerfile based on node:16 will make phantomjs work again.

Small sidenote here. PhantomJS will stop accepting HTTPS images. you can workaround this by passing --ignore-ssl-errors=yes.

export OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null This is working but is not a permanent solution. I
am getting this again and again after closing the terminal. Is there any permanent solutions? @tobia

[dbauszus-glx]

I was able to solve this by installing openssl 3.0.3 from source and switch to node v18+

The problem occured for me when I upgraded from Ubuntu 21.10 to 22.04
