Description Timothy Walsh 2016-06-01 10:18:03 UTC
Configuration of mod_cluster via JVMRoute longer than 80 characters will cause segfault.

A segmentation fault can occur in Apache HTTPD 2.2. 

The crash is due to a strcpy buffer overflow in mod_cluster's mod_manager.

https://github.com/modcluster/mod_cluster/blob/1.2.9.Final/native/mod_manager/node.c#L227 [Open URL]

If clients send a request with a JVMRoute longer than 80 characters
(the size of the strcpy destination), the strcpy segfaults.
