When I try this, I see a similar problem, but always a 403. My error log says [Thu Jul 01 14:59:23.126222 2010] [error] [pid 2065:tid 139906479290128] [client ::1:35270] (36)File name too long: access to /aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaabcdefghijklm failed So, it seems to me that something is "stat"ing names that really aren't files. Do you see a similar error in your logs? I do indeed get something similar: [Sun Jul 11 23:18:11 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.3] (36)File name too long: access to /01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 failed Please help us to refine our list of open and current defects; this is a mass update of old and inactive Bugzilla reports which reflect user error, already resolved defects, and still-existing defects in httpd. As repeatedly announced, the Apache HTTP Server Project has discontinued all development and patch review of the 2.2.x series of releases. The final release 2.2.34 was published in July 2017, and no further evaluation of bug reports or security risks will be considered or published for 2.2.x releases. All reports older than 2.4.x have been updated to status RESOLVED/LATER; no further action is expected unless the report still applies to a current version of httpd. If your report represented a question or confusion about how to use an httpd feature, an unexpected server behavior, problems building or installing httpd, or working with an external component (a third party module, browser etc.) we ask you to start by bringing your question to the User Support and Discussion mailing list, see [https://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-users] for details. Include a link to this Bugzilla report for completeness with your question. If your report was clearly a defect in httpd or a feature request, we ask that you retest using a modern httpd release (2.4.33 or later) released in the past year. If it can be reproduced, please reopen this bug and change the Version field above to the httpd version you have reconfirmed with. Your help in identifying defects or enhancements still applicable to the current httpd server software release is greatly appreciated. |
We've got a virtual host set up where all requests are redirected to a cgi script using SetAction <Virtualhost *:80> ServerName mytest DocumentRoot /var/www/mytest Options +ExecCGI Action all /index.cgi virtual <Location /index.cgi> SetHandler cgi-script </Location> SetHandler all </Virtualhost> ... where index.cgi is just a small example that prints the environment #!/bin/sh echo Content-Type: text/plain echo printenv This works ok for small URLs such as http://mytest/abc.html However, for very long URLs, weird stuff happens. Often we get a 404, and sometimes a 403. http://mytest/01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 It really looks like some kind of buffer overrun... Same thing with RewriteRule: <Virtualhost *:80> ServerName mytest DocumentRoot /var/www/mytest RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /.* /index.cgi [L] </Virtualhost> and: <Virtualhost *:80> ServerName mytest DocumentRoot /var/www/mytest RedirectMatch /............* /index.cgi </Virtualhost>
