Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I'll leave any security assessment and security-based prioritisation for the security team. >From a non-security perspective, I think this is of low priority since it only affects an unusual end-user configuration that is likely to affect only a very small minority of users. Feel free to continue to use this bug to track the problem, but I do not expect anyone else to spend time looking into this soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1930921 Title: Apache 2.4.41 corrupts files from samba share Status in apache2 package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in samba package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Wenn I serve a samba share with apache 2.4.41 on Ubuntu 20.04 then some files have a corrupt header during transmission. It seems that the first few bytes of the headers are truncated and sometimes other bytes of the download are not belonging to the file. A workaround I found that works is to set "EnableMMAP Off" in the apache config. See other bug reports like this: https://serverfault.com/questions/1044724/apache2-sends-corrupt-responses-when-using-a-cifs-share https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900821 This is most probably not a bug in Ubuntu itself but I am reporting it here since I assume that a data corruption bug is seen as critical. I am also marking it as a security vulnerability since it seems that wrong parts of memory get exposed during file download. I don't know how random the exposed memory is and if it potentially could expose e.g. secrets. Please feel free to remove the security vulnerability flag if your assessment leads to a different conclusion.
