coredump with 3 PerlSetVars

2003-02-03 Thread Hann, Brian
Title: Message



Can anyone tell me 
why Apache would dump core when more than 2 PerlSetVars are used in a Location 
directive?

This is Stronghold 
2.4.2, Apache 1.3.6 and mod_perl 1.21

Apache 1.3.6 is ancient, has numerous known bugs and security exploits.
Same for mod_perl 1.21.

Update to apache 1.3.27 and I think mod_perl 1.27, see if it still happens.

I wish that was an option, but unfortunately it's not due to the extreme
amount of applications we would have to test and we don't have the
manpower or time for that.

I actually think the REAL problem is some sort of spacing/whitespace
issue in the conf file.  I'm going to test a few more things and then
I'll post the results.

of course, by posting to this list, you have just made any would-be trawler
who happens across this information aware that the bank you work for is 
running a deprecated and insecure web server on a production machine (that 
appears to have some sort of e-banking interface?) and have no intention to
fix it. even if your server is changerooted i'd imagine you'd still need to
access things like database auth credentials and ssl private keys. can you
really afford the man-hours of labour that would be generated if those 
were compromised?

quite possibly. you could always go through three and a half years of 
changelogs to see if that particular bug was fixed.
