Consider the following configuration: ErrorDocument 400 /server_error.html Listen some.server.com:443 <VirtualHost some.server.com:443> ServerName some.server.com:443 SSLEngine On SSLProtocol +TLSv1 +SSLv3 SSLCipherSuite !EXPORT56:RC4-MD5:DES-CBC3-SHA:EXP-RC4-MD5 SSLOptions +OptRenegotiate +StdEnvVars SSLCertificateFile server-cert.pem <Location / > SSLCipherSuite DES-CBC3-SHA </Location> </VirtualHost> If a client is connection plain to the SSL port, the server cores with the following stack: (debug build on solaris) dummy_worker(opaque = 0x156088) worker_thread(thd = 0x156088, dummy = 0x22b020) process_socket(p = 0x23a4a8, sock = 0x23a4e0, my_child_num = 0, my_thread_num = 9, bucket_alloc = 0x23c4b0) ap_process_connection(c = 0x23a5d0, csd = 0x23a4e0) ap_run_process_connection(0x23a5d0, 0x23a4e0, 0x23a4e0, 0x9, 0x23a5c8, 0x23c4b0) ap_process_http_connection(c = 0x23a5d0) ap_read_request(conn = 0x23a5d0) ap_die(type = 400, r = 0x244500) ap_internal_redirect(new_uri = 0x150410 "/server_error.html", r = 0x244500) ap_process_request_internal(r = 0x245388) ap_run_access_checker(0x245388, 0xfee9630c, 0x245c92, 0xffffffff, 0xfffffff8, 0x245510) ssl_hook_Access(r = 0x245388) SSL_get_current_cipher(s = (nil)) The problems is that by ap_internal_redirect the ssl_hook_Access(..) will now be called, and that method does not handle the case ssl == NULL. Fix: do not run the access-checker-hooks for the error handling Config workaround: Configure also 'SSSLRequire' if you configure 'SSLSLCipherSuite' for any location. We tested the described behaviour with apache/2.0.53 and apache/2.1.9
Thanks for the report, this has been fixed on the trunk: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=354394&view=rev
Created attachment 17393 [details] Patch against 2.0.x
Proposed for backport to 2.2.x as r355720 (http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=355720&view=rev) and proposed for backport to 2.0.x as r368152 (http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=368152&view=rev). There is also a CVEID for this bug: CAN-2005-3357
Doesn't the same problem also appear at the very beginning of in ssl_hook_Fixup() ? if (!(sc->enabled && sslconn && (ssl = sslconn->ssl))) should become if ( !sc->enabled || !sslconn || (ssl != sslconn->ssl) ) Right ?
(In reply to comment #4) > > if (!(sc->enabled && sslconn && (ssl = sslconn->ssl))) > should become > if ( !sc->enabled || !sslconn || (ssl != sslconn->ssl) ) > > Right ? No. 1. Your version is nearly the same as above because !(sc->enabled && sslconn && (ssl = sslconn->ssl)) is equal to !sc->enabled || !sslconn || !(ssl == sslconn->ssl) keep in mind that ssl = sslconn->ssl and ssl == sslconn->ssl are different things. So the original condition becomes true if sslconn->ssl is equal to NULL which is only checked if sslconn is different from NULL. But I need to check on the trunk where the current condition is somewhat different and maybe also wrong. So thanks for the pointer.
Meanwhile I checked the slightly different condition on trunk and 2.2.x and they are also correct.
I read too fast, sorry :-(
