> We are experiencing crashen when using mod_authz_svn with the 
> AuthzSVNAccessFile setting.
> Every time a request is to be served the respective httpd worker will 
> segfault immediately.
> (A full reproduction setup is posted in the ML thread)
> I debugged this down to the following sequence:
> mod_authz_svn registers a post_config handler with the httpd core.
> This handler will use the memory pool passed as its first argument to set up 
> a childpool in svn_repos_authz_initialize().
> This childpool is then cached in a static variable (authz_pool) and never 
> updated again because of the caching logic inside 
> svn_repos_authz_initialize().
> httpd core however calls the post_config hook multiple times.
> (httpd server/main.c line 740 and 807).
> In between those calls the memory pool passed to the hook is cleared in line 
> 750.
> This means that the static variables in authz.c point to memory of a 
> destroyed pool.
> In our case this memory is reused by another pool leading to use-after-free 
> issues like these segfaults.
> [~stsp] indicated on the ML that similar issues probably also occur in 
> svn_fs_initialize() and other places.
> Source lines for httpd main.c: 
> https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.4.x/server/main.c?view=markup&pathrev=1874286
