------------ end ---------------
Reason for SIGSEGV and core dump:
"hosts" variable in proxy module was not checked for NULL
in proxy_match_ipaddr and proxy_match_hostname().
These functions were called from "proxy_handler()":
----------- begin ---------
[...]
int ii;
struct dirconn_entry *list = (struct dirconn_entry *) conf->dirconn-
>elts;
/* if (*++p == '/' && *++p == '/') */
for (direct_connect = ii = 0; ii < conf->dirconn->nelts &&
!direct_connect; ii++) {
direct_connect = list[ii].matcher(&list[ii], r);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ----------
aplog_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_DEBUG, r->server,
"URI and NoProxy: %s: %s", r->uri, list[ii].name);
}
#[...]
------------ end ------------
... hope it helps!
