I have encountered the same bug as described above. However I have also accidently encountered that the stack smashing only seems to occur when the option "AuthMySQL_Encryption_Types" contains the method "MySQL".
When using "Plaintext" or "PHP_MD5" libapache2-mod-auth-mysql 4.3.9-4 from gutsy works fine here. Here is a short overview of what currently works for me in an apache site-config file: <Directory /some/dir/> AuthName "Auth-MySQL Test" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /dev/null AuthBasicAuthoritative Off AuthMySQL On AuthMySQL_Authoritative On AuthMySQL_Host localhost AuthMySQL_User <db_user> AuthMySQL_Password <db_password> AuthMySQL_DB <mysql_db> AuthMySQL_Password_Table mysql_auth # I have used the defaults but explicitly mention them here in the config file AuthMySQL_Username_Field username AuthMySQL_Password_Field password # AuthMySQL_Encryption_Types MySQL # this will crash apache with "*** stack smashing detected ***" in error.log # AuthMySQL_EncryptionTypes Plaintext # works okay here AuthMySQL_Encryption_Types PHP_MD5 # works okay here </Directory> I have not done extensive testing on the issue and I have not tested other encryption types or combinations thereof. Maybe this is of help to someone. -- gutsy does not have a working apache+mysql authentication solution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
