Hi All, I have a stable reporduction case now in a chroot, and have succeed in getting backtraces out of it.
It is with a recompiled libssl0.9.7, without the db_strip, to get a more useful one. As I don't know much about gdb, any hints on getting better backtraces would be appreciated (I now just gdb'd /usr/sbin/apache with -X -F) If I understand things correctly, the SEGV happens deep in libssl0.9.7 (therefore the CC to it's maintainer), as this looks like insufficient error handling, but of course, this is just speculation. The problem is the starting point, mail_getquota. It's an internal function in PHP's imap module, used ONLY when the corresponding PHP functions are called. However, the SIGSEGV happens at startup, and in ny whole fscking chroot there is no single php script anywhere. So, it gets wrongly called? Then there must be a serious fuckup of symbols somewhere, or otherwise I really don't understand. It also states about a possible stack overwrite at the end of the bt, so there is an accidental buffer overflow somewhere? Or is this function called somehow on startup... that would be really wierd. In the case of the buffer overflow, I guess that stack trace is useless and just plain wrong? Any pointers on how to check this issue better? (my versions: apache 1.3.29.0.1-5 php4 4:4.3.3-4 (oops, indeed, chroot was not fully uptodate) php4-imap 4:4.3.3-5 (but this was, as it was newly installed) libssl0.9.7 0.9.7c-5~notstripped-by-jeroen) Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
