RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: httpd-2.4.6-23.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: There was a race-condition in signals handling when httpd was running on foreground and user hit ctrl+c (sent SIGINT to httpd processes). Consequence: In that case, SIGINT was sent to all children followed by SIGTERM from the main process, which interrupted the SIGINT handler and lead to hanging process or crash. Fix: The problem has been fixed by ignoring the SIGINT signals in the child processes. Result: Httpd does not hang or crash in the mentioned situation.

Comment 8 Martin Frodl 2014-10-07 09:24:30 UTC 
I reproduced the issue in Docker (inside a container to be precise), which is shipped only for x86_64 architecture if I am not mistaken. I have not been able to reproduce it anywhere else. Did you encounter the invalid pointer error in other environments too, Jeremy?
