Re: Remote buffer overflow in Apache mod_ssl when reverse proxying SSL
Dear Jйrфme ATHIAS,
According to provided information and fix (without code analysis) it
looks like access to unallocated memory, not like buffer overflow. It's
just non-working feature of Apache and it unconditionally crashes on any
request in specified configuration. Probably it means you can not find
server in this configuration in-the-wild.
Correct me, if I wrong.

JA> Summary: Segmentation fault in char_buffer_read when reverse proxying SSL
(Version 2.0.50)
JA> Reporter: lxhankins002 at fastmail.fm (M. "Alex" Hankins)
JA> Overview Description:
JA> Intermittent segmentation faults occur in char_buffer_read at
JA> ssl_engine_io.c:348 when using a RewriteRule to do reverse proxying to an
SSL
JA> origin server running IIS.
JA> Steps to Reproduce:
JA> 1) Set up an IIS server using SSL and running eRoom 6.
JA> 2) Add the following directives to httpd.conf:
JA> Listen 47290
JA> SSLProxyEngine on
JA> RewriteEngine on
JA> RewriteRule /(.*) https://some.eroom6.iis.server.com/$1 [P]
JA> 3) Visit a URL similar to the following:
JA>
http://reverse.proxy.com:47290/eRoomASP/CookieTest.asp?facility=facility&URL=%2FeRoom%2FFacility%2FRoom%2F0_4242
JA> If that doesn't cause the segfault, click around for a while.
JA> (Yes, reverse proxying from non-SSL to SSL is not a good idea, but it keeps
the
JA> example simpler.)
JA> Actual Results:
JA> Segmentation fault in error_log:
JA> [Thu Jul 15 19:38:36 2004] [notice] child pid 42 exit signal Segmentation
fault
JA> (11), possible coredump in /usr/local/httpd-2.0.50
