Bug#307567: apache2-common: Apache2 consumes 100% CPU after a few requests
Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.54-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
It seems that the problem is related to LDAP authentication.
The problem started showing up after the last 'aptitude upgrade' which
has upgraded both the Apache2 server from 2.0.53 to 2.0.54, and libc6
I tried to disable the ldap cache feature in the util_ldap Apache2
module, with no success
I also tried with the prefork and the worker variants: same issue.
After a couple of requests to a URL which requires authentication, the Apache2 server starts eating up to 100%
of CPU time. The problem does not show up with public access (ie no LDAP
validation).
The LDAP server works nicely with other clients, such as ldapsearch.
