Bug#736304: apache2-mpm-worker: error.log: child NNN exit Segmentation fault



Package: apache2-mpm-worker
Version: 2.2.22-13
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/apache2

Dear maintainer,

I recently noticed that long-running HTTP connections to my webserver
are closed at random points in time, and whenever such an event occurs,
a corresponding "child N exit Segmentation fault" message appears in
/var/log/apache2/errors.log.  Here's an excerpt of errors.log:

  [Mon Jan 20 11:24:54 2014] [notice] child pid 24196 exit signal
  Segmentation fault (11)

At the exact same time, a connection to the server opened via 

  proxytunnel -v -B -p $host:443 -d <MAGIC_IP>:2222

was closed.  I was monitoring the connection via tcpdump:

  11:24:45.094427 IP CLIENT.39172 > SERVER.443: Flags [.],
  ack 5889, win 212, options [nop,nop,TS val 3379557 ecr 168685518],
  length 0
  11:24:54.271639 IP SERVER.443 > CLIENT.39172: Flags [F.],
  seq 5889, ack 5680, win 444, options [nop,nop,TS val 168687824 ecr
  3379557], length 0
  11:24:54.322112 IP CLIENT.39172 > SERVER.443: Flags [F.],
  seq 5680, ack 5890, win 212, options [nop,nop,TS val 3381864 ecr
  168687824], length 0
  11:24:54.325877 IP SERVER.443 > CLIENT.39172: Flags [.],
  ack 5681, win 444, options [nop,nop,TS val 168687837 ecr 3381864],
  length 0

The connection was processed via mod_proxy_connect.  However, even when
no connections via mod_proxy are active, I see lots of these Segmenation
fault messages, so I currently assume that the problem is not in
mod_proxy but somewhere deeper in apache's internals.  For reference,
this is the mod_proxy configuration that I'm using:

  --8<--
  ProxyRequests on
  AllowCONNECT 2222
  ProxyVia on

  <Proxy *>
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
  </proxy>

  SetEnvIf User-Agent ^magic_string_blablabla SSHTUNNEL_AUTHORIZED
  <Proxy MAGIC_IP>
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from env=SSHTUNNEL_AUTHORIZED
  </Proxy>
  --8<--

Looking at my errors.log, I see 10 "Segmentation fault" messages for
Jan/20, while in the same time frame access.log lists 700 and
ssl_access.log lists 30 requests.

Maybe the problem is related to this bug [1]?

cheers,

David
