A possible subtle bug with httpd-2.4.3 on Windows (Server 2008 R2) was found
in the following source file, which was compiled using VS2010:
httpd-2.4.3/server/config.c
// line 602:
ap_module_short_names[m->module_index] = strdup(sym_name);
// line 680:
free(ap_module_short_names[m->module_index]);
The bug was associated with the (new) implementation of the strdup()
function:
it calls malloc() when compiled as non-debug version, but calls
_malloc_dbg() when
compiled for debugging. In the later case, the free() at line 680 call would
always fail
and cause the process terminated.
The following was my quick fixing of the problem, which uses _free_dbg() to
free
the strings memory space:
#ifdef WIN32
#ifdef _DEBUG
_free_dbg(ap_module_short_names[m->module_index],
1/*_NORMAL_BLOCK*/);
#else /* _DEBUG */
free(ap_module_short_names[m->module_index]);
#endif /* _DEBUG */
#else
free(ap_module_short_names[m->module_index]);
#endif /* WIN32 */
This solution was not a clean one, though (server/config.c is on an OS
independent level).
So please verify the issue.
Regrards,
Bing
