Hello I'm trying to learn how to create a macro in LibreOffice (7.6.3.2 60(Build:2)) under Linux. I hit "run" on a Python macro that was calling an external software using "subprocess.check_output". This external tools never ended. So I killed LOo with xkill. Now, every time I hit the Tools>Macro>Run or Tools>Macro>Organize>Python LOo crashes. I've tried killing/restarting LOo multiple times, I get the same result. I tried killing any remaining all the processes I could find related to LOo or Python, with no luck... The only thing I didn't try is restart the computer, because I can't do it for the moment (important stuff runnning). The error message when running LOo from CLI is: "" terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc "" So there might be bad (exploitable?) stuff happening here :( At least, it's a complete DoS for all Macros...
Please, can you put your question in: https://ask.libreoffice.org/c/english/5 There are people with a great acknowledge on python macros.
Hallo For now you should rename (backup) your user-profile and start soffice with a new user-profile from scratch. For the future: dont execute **long running independent things** via »subprocess.check_output(…) use »subprocess.Popen(…)« instead!
