syft scan gets Killed

[SaurabhNair96]

Description: I'm attempting to generate a SBOM for a Singularity file using Syft, but I encounter a "Killed" error.
Below is my setup and the command I used. I'm also attaching the sif file for the purpose of being able to reproduce the error.

Environment:
OS: Windows 10 running a virtual Ubuntu 24.04.1
Syft version: 1.19.0

Steps to take:

1. Running the tool directly on the sif file
   syft scan singularity:/mnt/shareee/siffiles/[FILE].sif -o cyclonedx-json > sbom-output.json -vv

Error:
Says "Killed".
Attaching an image that shows the error below

The image file can be found here: https://1drv.ms/f/c/d595eda503cbaa82/Evd5EGi9yJFOu64giEKVgwgB7erf50e3fmM6KLUTIUq94A

I was wondering if you would have some insight how I can circumvent the issue. Thank you in advance.

Hi @SaurabhNair96 - sorry to hear you're having this issue. Can you return the exit code of Syft? (In the Ubuntu terminal, run echo $? immediately after Syft exits). I suspect it's being killed by an out-of-memory error, but the exit code would help.

Hi @willmurphyscode exit code is 137

Hi @willmurphyscode just to follow up on that, we also tried it on a similar virtual machine with a lot more space and it still showed the same problem. Does the exit code confirm that it is a space issue? Thanks!
