Hoss Man resolved SOLR-2631.
----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Uwe, sorry for my brevity -- my point was that you had fixed the infinite loop
by adding an sanity check that will throw an error, but the example & test
configs should also be improved to demonstrate better practices when using the
PingRequestHandler so people using them can never encounter the sanity checking
you added.

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: search, web gui
> Affects Versions: 1.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3

> We got a security report to priv...@lucene.apache.org, that Solr can infinite
> loop, use 100% CPU and stack overflow, if you execute the following HTTP
> request:
> - http://localhost:8983/solr/select?qt=/admin/ping
> - http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/ping?qt=/admin/ping
> The qt paramter instructs PingRequestHandler to call the given request
> handler. This leads to an infinite loop. This is not an security issue, but
> for an unprotected Solr server with unprotected /solr/select path this makes
> it stop working.
> The fix is to prevent infinite loop by disallowing calling itsself.
