           Summary: Very long URLs cause 404 or 403 errors with SetAction,
                    RewriteRule, RedirectMatch...
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.11
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core

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>
