      Description

      With some HTML input files the soffice process hangs forever using a full CPU.

      soffice  --headless --norestore --writer --convert-to pdf /tmp/nxblob-5669137896840863554.html --outdir /tmp/foo.out/
 

       

       

      strace or perf don't give lots of info:

       

      Upgrading Libreoffice to 6.4.7 fixes the problem.

      Note that the timeout command can be used and is able to kill the soffice command.

       

      Solutions

      Fix Nuxeo docker images to use Libreoffice 6.4.7 instead of default 5.3.6.

      On Centos download:

      https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/6.4.7/rpm/x86_64/LibreOffice_6.4.7_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
