Additional Comment #9 From Allen Smith on 2004-02-10 14:00 -------

I am seeing this on a RHEL3 box. httpd-2.0.46-26.ent Doesn't matter if
I run threaded or prefork. It happens whenever I hit a file in the
directory that has rewrite rules in the .htaccess. Only 4 lines of
rewrite rules.

Here is a partial backtrace from gdb.

#66 0x08087419 in pcre_compile ()
#67 0x08087f9f in pcre_compile ()
#68 0x08087960 in pcre_compile ()
#69 0x08087419 in pcre_compile ()
#70 0x08087f9f in pcre_compile ()
#71 0x08087e89 in pcre_compile ()
#72 0x08086256 in pcre_compile ()
#73 0x08088373 in pcre_exec ()
#74 0x08083724 in regexec ()

Comment 1 Allen Smith 2004-02-11 18:26:57 UTC

I worked around this by simplifying the regular expressions I was
using. The new regexps work fine on apache2, but fail on our older
boxes (1.3.2x).

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2004-02-11 19:41:05 UTC

Can you give an example .htaccess which failed?

Comment 3 Allen Smith 2004-02-11 19:58:51 UTC

sure:
This one fails:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}
!^http(s)?://([a-z0-9-]+.)*falconstudios.com/ [NC] RewriteCond
%{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://([a-z0-9-]+.)*joshweston.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://66.28.50.194/ [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://www.falconstudios.com/error.htm [R,L]

This one is fine:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}
!^http(s)?://([a-z0-9-.])+falconstudios.com/ [NC] RewriteCond
%{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://([a-z0-9-.])+joshweston.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://66.28.50.194/ [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://www.falconstudios.com/error.htm [R,L]

Comment 4 Joe Orton 2004-02-12 14:21:18 UTC

A request with what Referer header will trigger the failure?  We're
having trouble reproducing the problem here.

(the presence of and solution to the bug are clear but we'd like to
find a precise repro case so we can ensure the fix is tested properly)

Comment 5 Allen Smith 2004-02-13 16:22:20 UTC

Here is an apache log of a request iwth the source IP stripped.

[13/Feb/2004:08:23:57 -0800] "GET

Comment 6 Joe Orton 2004-02-26 15:13:27 UTC

We couldn't manage to reproduce this problem unfortunately. If you
could try the test update packages in which httpd uses the system pcre
library:

http://people.redhat.com/jorton/Taroon-httpd/

with the example configuration which gave a segfault that would be great.
