Description Marcin Mirosław 2021-10-04 13:45:01 UTC
I upgraded apache from 2.4.48 to 2.4.49 and I've noticed massive segfaults in log. I have coredump, here is backtrace:


Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D PHP -D RPAF -D NAGIOS -D DAV'.

I recompiled apr, apr-tools, apache-tools but it nothing changed. Downgrade "fixes" problem.

Comment 2 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-10-04 19:21:46 UTC
This is likely going to have to be reported upstream. No issues here with:
-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D USERDIR -D HEADERS
Comment 3 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-10-05 03:37:31 UTC
Can you try with .50 please? Thanks!
Comment 4 Marcin Mirosław 2021-10-05 07:38:04 UTC
(In reply to Sam James from comment #3)
> Can you try with .50 please? Thanks!

Nothing changed. But it looks that mod_itk is triggering problem. When I run .50 without -D MPM_ITK segfaults gone away.
Comment 5 acmondor 2021-10-09 19:35:53 UTC
Created attachment 744189 [details, diff]
segfault fix

With the traceback provided I was able to isolate the problem to code changes in httpd-2.4.51/server/connection.c in which ap_lingering_close() attempts to pass a NULL pointer to apr_socket_close(). The attached patch prevents that and thereby resolves the segfault issue.

Thanks. Is this reported upstream?
Comment 7 Marcin Mirosław 2021-10-11 09:55:06 UTC
With the attached patch I don't see segfaults anymore.
Comment 8 acmondor 2021-10-11 21:00:22 UTC
I just reported this upstream as: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65627
Comment 9 Marcin Mirosław 2021-11-02 13:22:17 UTC
What do you think about adding this patch to ebuild and don't wait for upstream new release?
Comment 10 Marcin Mirosław 2021-11-11 13:38:17 UTC
ping
Comment 11 acmondor 2021-11-11 13:57:28 UTC
Adding the patch to the ebuild might be a good idea since it's not clear when a new upstream release will be provided. However, I'm not a Gentoo developer so there may be issues I'm not aware of.

If a patch is added to the ebuild, it might make sense to use the upstream version rather than the one I originally provided. The patches are different, but the net effect is the same.
Comment 12 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2021-11-16 01:53:45 UTC
My servers are extra secure now that they can't process any requests and the last working version of apache has been removed from the tree.

Yes, I think it should just be added.

    www-servers/apache: new revision to unbreak mpm-itk.
    
    This latest version of apache was stabilized with bug 816258 open,
    affecting everyone who uses the itk MPM. Worse, all of the old ebuilds
    were removed, leaving no working versions of apache in the tree for
    anyone with an itk-based configuration. I've added an emergency patch,
    backported from upstream trunk, to fix the issue, and will ask for
    stabilization immediately.
