Bug#429959: apache2: using auth_ldap make child segfault or hang silently
Package: apache2
Version: 2.0.54-5sarge1
Severity: normal
We are using for a few days the auth_ldap module in our apache2 conf.
The first morning, we observed a hang on the server ; users can send
auth information, but never saw back the prompt for login/pass nor the
page expected.
I checked the err.log and saw numerous segfault entries.
A restart made things back to normal.
The next day, we observered the same symptoms, without segfault entries
in the err.log.
It has been acting like that for 4 days now, and I'm a bit afraid of
it. It is mostly unprdictable, but we observed that it happens during
company members connections ( around 8:00 am and 14:00 pm ).
It is the first time I use it on a loaded machine, it worked fine on
very small trafic servers.
Surfing the web informed me about this bug #308648 and this other one #229677.
I am runnig 2.0.54-5 so those should be corrected.
