From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050512 Red Hat/1.7.8-1.1.3.1 Description of problem: The patch 'httpd-2.0.46-rediruser.patch' is missing a ',' after the REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER string, which the patch adds to suexec.c, resulting in a new entry in the save_enf_lst, "REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER=REDIRECT_STATUS=". This breaks our setup, using php as cgi, which relies on the REDIRECT_STATUS variable to be correctly setup. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-2.0.46-46 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install httpd 2.0.46-46 2. configure apache to start php as cgi 3. php bails out because it can't find the redirect_status variable. It can easily be shown using 'strings' on /usr/sbin/suexec. The correct version shows seperate entries for REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER and REDIRECT_STATUS. The faulty version of suexec will show a large 'REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER=REDIRECT_STATUS=' string. Actual Results: php won't run as cgi, because of the missing REDIRECT_STATUS variable Expected Results: REDIRECT_STATUS should be included in the environment Additional info: This should be fixed soon, as it probably breaks a lot of setups, by using a flawed patch.
Thanks for the report and analysis, and apologies for the regression.
