[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#471409: lighttpd: SEGV when daemon spawns child; clone() call segfaults

[Simon Raven]

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.19-1
Severity: normal

hi,

i'm filing this from an x86 box, but the bug is in PPC, i don't see this behaviour 
in x86. i've run the daemon through strace, and right when it spawns off a child with
clone(), the parent SEGVs, making the pid file for s-s-d, and other issues, go buggery.


a bit before, and a bit after what i said:

=====
12428 rt_sigaction(SIGTTOU, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
12428 rt_sigaction(SIGTTIN, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
12428 rt_sigaction(SIGTSTP, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
12428 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x4801c3e8) = 12429
12428 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
12429 rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN},  <unfinished ...>
12428 +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
12429 <... rt_sigaction resumed> {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
12429 getsockname(11, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@}, [2]) = 0
12429 getpeername(11, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/slapd/ldapi"}, [23]) = 0
12429 fcntl64(11, F_GETFD)              = 0x1 (flags FD_CLOEXEC)
=====

the bug has existed since a few package versions ago. i've tried backports, same problem.
as a consequnce of this bug, the package configuration fails.

thanks
simon
