Description Masaki MAENO 2017-12-19 07:00:33 UTC
Description of problem:

Apache httpd in RHEL7 configured with worker/event mpm segfaults after receiving multiple SIGUSR1. 2.4.6-67.el7_4.6.x86_64 also has problems. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

* RHEL7 Latest 2.4.6-67.el7_4.6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Near 100% with worker or event

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Install httpd
  2. Ensure using worker or event
     (E.g.: sed -i -e '/^Load/s/^/#/' -e '/#Load.*event/s/^#//' /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf)
  3. systemctl restart httpd
  4. Repeat "# kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid`; kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid`"

Actual results:

 [Fri Dec 15 10:39:29.964033 2017] [mpm_worker:notice] [pid 20084:tid 
140575944685696] AH00297: SIGUSR1 received.  Doing graceful restart
 [Fri Dec 15 10:39:30.084318 2017] [core:notice] [pid 20084] AH00060: 
seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process

Expected results:

 httpd shouldn't segfault. With prefork, it doesn't

Additional info:

 The problem (httpd with worker/event mpm segfaults after multiple successive graceful reloads) was fixed in 2.4.6-53.el7 (Development Version)

  successive graceful reloads

============

httpd in RHEL7 configured with worker/event mpm segfaults after receiving
multiple SIGUSR1. (logrotate.conf example: size 1G and daily)
2.4.6-67.el7_4.6.x86_64 also has problems. 

I think that the aforementioned patch is not sufficient and need to add accurate exclusion control.

Comment 5 Masaki MAENO 2018-04-09 04:50:40 UTC
Please fix the segfaults ("Apache httpd in RHEL7 configured with worker/event mpm segfaults after receiving multiple SIGUSR1") .

Is the problem fixed in the future?

Comment 8 Joe Orton 2018-06-21 15:12:58 UTC
There are a couple of different cases here, and I want to be sure we are fixing exactly what is expected:

1. A segfault on repeated SIGUSR1 (with unchanged configuration), using the event MPM.

2. A segfault on repeated SIGUSR1 (with unchanged configuration), using the worker MPM.

3. A segfault on SIGUSR1 when with changed configuration to load or unload mod_logio.

Cases (1) and (3) should be fixed in the current httpd, httpd-2.4.6-80.el7.x86_64 or later.

Case (2) is unaddressed and will be fixed here.

If there is a different reproduction case which works with httpd-2.4.6-80.el7.x86_64 please let us know.

Comment 10 Masaki MAENO 2018-06-22 00:07:25 UTC
I hope that the Cases (1) (2) and (3) with httpd-2.4.6-80.el7.x86_64 will be fixed.
I don't know a different reproduction.

Comment 17 martin.monperrus 2020-09-14 06:15:20 UTC
For the record, I was hit by this crash on Apache/2.4.25 several times.
Current workaround: switch to mpm_event
