Changes with Apache 2.0.48
*) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0789]: mod_cgid: Resolve some mishandling of
the AF_UNIX socket used to communicate with the cgid daemon and
the CGI script. [Jeff Trawick]
*) SECURITY [CAN-2003-0542]: Fix buffer overflows in mod_alias and
mod_rewrite which occurred if one configured a regular expression
with more than 9 captures. [André Malo]
*) mod_include: fix segfault which occured if the filename was not
set, for example, when processing some error conditions.
PR 23836. [Brian Akins <bakins@web.turner.com>, André Malo]
*) fix the config parser to support <Foo>..</Foo> containers (no
arguments in the opening tag) supported by httpd 1.3. Without
this change mod_perl 2.0's <Perl> sections are broken.
["Philippe M. Chiasson" <gozer@cpan.org>]
*) mod_cgid: fix a hash table corruption problem which could
result in the wrong script being cleaned up at the end of a
request. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Update httpd-*.conf to be clearer in describing the connection
between AddType and AddEncoding for defining the meaning of
compressed file extensions. [Roy Fielding]
*) mod_rewrite: Don't die silently when failing to open RewriteLogs.
PR 23416. [André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Fix mod_rewrite's support of the [P] option to send
rewritten request using "proxy:". The code was adding multiple "proxy:"
fields in the rewritten URI. PR: 13946.
[Eider Oliveira <eider@bol.com.br>]
*) cache_util: Fix ap_check_cache_freshness to check max_age, smax_age, and
expires as directed in RFC 2616. [Thomas Castelle tcastelle@generali.fr]
*) Ensure that ssl-std.conf is generated at configure time, and switch
to using the expanded config variables to work the same as
httpd-std.conf PR: 19611
[Thom May]
*) mod_ssl: Fix segfaults after renegotiation failure. PR 21370
[Hartmut Keil <Hartmut.Keil@adnovum.ch>]
*) mod_autoindex: If a directory contains a file listed in the
DirectoryIndex directive, the folder icon is no longer replaced
by the icon of that file. PR 9587.
[David Shane Holden <dpejesh@yahoo.com>]
*) Fixed mod_usertrack to not get false positive matches on the
user-tracking cookie's name. PR 16661.
[Manni Wood <manniwood@planet-save.com>]
*) mod_cache: Fix the cache code so that responses can be cached
if they have an Expires header but no Etag or Last-Modified
headers. PR 23130.
[bjorn@exoweb.net]
*) mod_log_config: Fix %b log format to write really "-" when 0 bytes
were sent (e.g. with 304 or 204 response codes). [Astrid Keßler]
*) Modify ap_get_client_block() to note if it has seen EOS.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix a bug, where mod_deflate sometimes unconditionally compressed the
content if the Accept-Encoding header contained only other tokens than
"gzip" (such as "deflate"). PR 21523. [Joe Orton, André Malo]
*) Avoid an infinite recursion, which occured if the name of an included
config file or directory contained a wildcard character. PR 22194.
[André Malo]
*) mod_ssl: Fix a problem setting variables that represent the
client certificate chain. PR 21371 [Jeff Trawick]
*) Unix: Handle permissions settings for flock-based mutexes in
unixd_set_global|proc_mutex_perms(). Allow the functions to be
called for any type of mutex. PR 20312 [Jeff Trawick]
*) ab: Work over non-loopback on Unix again. PR 21495. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix a misleading message from the some of the threaded MPMs when
MaxClients has to be lowered due to the setting of ServerLimit.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Lower the severity of the "listener thread didn't exit" message
to debug, as it is of interest only to developers. PR 9011
[Jeff Trawick]
*) MPMs: The bucket brigades subsystem now honors the MaxMemFree setting.
[Cliff Woolley, Jean-Jacques Clar]
*) Install config.nice into the build/ directory to make
minor version upgrades easier. [Joshua Slive]
*) Fix mod_deflate so that it does not call deflate() without checking
first whether it has something to deflate. (Currently this causes
deflate to generate a fatal error according to the zlib spec.)
PR 22259. [Stas Bekman]
*) mod_ssl: Fix FakeBasicAuth for subrequest. Log an error when an
identity spoof is encountered.
[Sander Striker]
*) mod_rewrite: Ignore RewriteRules in .htaccess files if the directory
containing the .htaccess file is requested without a trailing slash.
PR 20195. [André Malo]
*) ab: Overlong credentials given via command line no longer clobber
the buffer. [André Malo]
*) mod_deflate: Don't attempt to hold all of the response until we're
done. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Assure that we block properly when reading input bodies with SSL.
PR 19242. [David Deaves <David.Deaves@dd.id.au>, William Rowe]
*) Update mime.types to include latest IANA and W3C types. [Roy Fielding]
*) mod_ext_filter: Set additional environment variables for use by
the external filter. PR 20944. [Andrew Ho, Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix buildconf errors when libtool version changes. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Remember an authenticated user during internal redirects if the
redirection target is not access protected and pass it
to scripts using the REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER environment variable.
PR 10678, 11602. [André Malo]
*) mod_include: Fix a trio of bugs that would cause various unusual
sequences of parsed bytes to omit portions of the output stream.
PR 21095. [Ron Park <ronald.park@cnet.com>, André Malo, Cliff Woolley]
*) Update the header token parsing code to allow LWS between the
token word and the ':' seperator. [PR 16520]
[Kris Verbeeck <kris.verbeeck@advalvas.be>, Nicel KM <mnicel@yahoo.com>]
*) Eliminate creation of a temporary table in ap_get_mime_headers_core()
[Joe Schaefer <joe+gmane@sunstarsys.com>]
*) Added FreeBSD directory layout. PR 21100.
[Sander Holthaus <info@orangexl.com>, André Malo]
*) Fix NULL-pointer issue in ab when parsing an incomplete or non-HTTP
response. PR 21085. [Glenn Nielsen <glenn@apache.org>, André Malo]
*) mod_rewrite: Perform child initialization on the rewrite log lock.
This fixes a log corruption issue when flock-based serialization
is used (e.g., FreeBSD). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Don't respect the Server header field as set by modules and CGIs.
As with 1.3, for proxy requests any such field is from the origin
server; otherwise it will have our server info as controlled by
the ServerTokens directive. [Jeff Trawick]
