[Bug 48260] New: Firefox 3.6 causes SIGSEGV in ssl3_finish_mac()
|

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48260
Summary: Firefox 3.6 causes SIGSEGV in ssl3_finish_mac()
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.14
Platform: All
OS/Version: NetBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: mod_ssl
AssignedTo: bugs [at] httpd
ReportedBy: manu [at] netbsd
The server is running NetBSD-5.0 with SSL-enabled Apache-2.2.14 (older Apache
exhibit the same problem). From time to time, httpd gets a SIGSEGV in
ssl3_finish_mac(). That behavior seems common, and other NetBSD users report
experiencing it.
That happens with a plain config (no additonnal module), serving static pages.
Starting with Firefox 3.6, the crash can occur on each request: at once,
Firefox can load a page normally. If I make a burst of a dozen page reloads,
httpd will crash in ssl3_finish_mac(), and Firefox will give me a "The
connexion was Reset". Any attempt to load a page by this Firefox instance on
this server will then fail, until Apache is restarted.
Once I get into this state, other client can load pages from Apache, so the
problem is with a shared state between Apache and Firefox.
I have a workaround: in Firefox, setting security.enable_tls_session_tickets to
false will fix the problem. As Firefox 3.6 ussage will increase, I'd be quite
interested by a similar server-side workaround.
I am not sure if there is a bug in Firefox 3.6, but since a sgmentation fault
is always the sign of some illness, I suspect the situation is worth an Apache
bug report.
