accessing some request or server object members causes a segfault
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MODPYTHON-99
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-99
Project: mod_python
Type: Bug
Components: core
Versions: 3.2
Reporter: Jim Gallacher
Priority: Critical
Martin Devara discovered a segfault when accessing some request object members.
For example:
def handler(req):
req.content_type = "text/plain"
req.write("EE\n")
a = getattr(req,"allowed_methods");
return apache.OK
Futher investigation revealed problems with several getter functions in
requestobject.c and serverobject.c. The root of the problem seems to be pointer
dereferencing errors in the getter code. The affected functions and the members
which use them are:
src/requestobject.c
getreq_rec_ml
allowed_methods
getreq_rec_ah
content_languages
allowed_xmethods
src/serverobject.c
getsrv_recmbr_ah
names
wild_names
Martin has provided a patch to fix the bug.
(Thanks to Martin for tracking this down and providing the fix.)
