A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: SIGBUS while installing ZAP proxy in parrot home OS

Question

I was trying to install the ZAP proxy in my parrot home OS, but I'm unable to install it and the error that I'm receiving in the terminal is as follows:

(A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

This error message...

(A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

 Problematic frame:

...implies that the V frame was the Problematic frame which crashed which resulted in libjvm.so file.

The crash you observed is possibly not a zap or java issue but a debian issue.

Deep Dive

However as per the documentation in What versions of Java are supported? page, ZAP should be able to run with all/newer Java versions, but might require a minimum for certain ZAP versions:

• ZAP 2.7.0 and later requires a minimum of Java 1.8
• ZAP 2.0.0 and later requires a minimum of Java 1.7
• Previous versions of ZAP also support Java 1.6, the last of those being 1.4.1

Additionally, as per the documentation in Download ZAP page:

• The Windows and Linux versions require Java 8 or higher to run.
• The macOS version includes Java 8 - you can use the Linux or Cross Platform versions if you do not want to download this.

Finally, as per the documentation in Release 2.9.0 page:

This is a bug fix and enhancement release, which requires a minimum of Java 8. Note that a minimum of Java 11 is recommended, especially for high DPI displays.
