Package: apache2 Version: 2.2.8-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch
I saw occasional files and directories showing up with a bomb icon; I guessed they were broken symlinks or some such glitch, but closer investigation revealed no problem. Eventually, I noticed their names all ended in "core" and guessed what was happening. Sure enough, AddIcon is tested as a wild-card or a suffix of the name, so deems (for example) score to be a match for core, so displays it as a bomb. Likewise dual-core, quad-core and so on. <patch> --- /etc/apache2/mods-available/autoindex.conf.orig 2008-01-17 21:13:45.000000000 +0100 +++ /etc/apache2/mods-available/autoindex.conf 2008-02-25 20:19:01.000000000 +0100 @@ -36,7 +36,8 @@ AddIcon /icons/uuencoded.gif .uu AddIcon /icons/script.gif .conf .sh .shar .csh .ksh .tcl AddIcon /icons/tex.gif .tex -AddIcon /icons/bomb.gif core +# It's a suffix rule, so simply matching "core" matches "score" as well ! +AddIcon /icons/bomb.gif /core AddIcon (SND,/icons/sound2.gif) .ogg AddIcon (VID,/icons/movie.gif) .ogm </patch> To my mild surprise, I found that matching isn't only done on the name of the file (relative to its directory); it includes enough of the path that /core does indeed match a file called simply "core". So it proved easy enough to fix the problem :-) The documentation at /doc/apache2-doc/manual/en/mod/mod_autoindex.html#addicon is also, consequently, mildly inaccurate when it ends the list of things that name can be with "or a complete filename." It's always matched against suffixes, so the only way to make it *only* match as a complete filename is to include a leading / (and I don't know whether there are any limitations on that). Ideally, there'd be some way to ensure the AddIcon rule for the bomb would only match a *file* named (exactly) core; a directory of the same name should just be displayed as a directory. However, I couldn't immediately see how to fix that and don't happen to have any directories with this name in my local webspace, so didn't look harder. -- Package-specific info: Config file syntax check failed.
