[apache] / CHANGES

                                                         -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Changes with Apache 2.3.9

  *) mod_cache: Check the request to determine whether we are allowed
     to return cached content at all, and respect a "Cache-Control:
     no-cache" header from a client. Previously, "no-cache" would
     behave like "max-age=0". [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cache: Use a proper filter context to hold filter data instead
     of misusing the per-request configuration. Fixes a segfault on trunk
     when the normal handler is used. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_cgid: Log a warning if the ScriptSock path is truncated because
     it is too long. PR 49388.  [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) vhosts: Do not allow _default_ in NameVirtualHost, or mixing *
     and non-* ports on NameVirtualHost, or multiple NameVirtualHost
     directives for the same address:port, or NameVirtualHost
     directives with no matching VirtualHosts, or multiple ip-based
     VirtualHost sections for the same address:port.  These were
     previously accepted with a warning, but the behavior was
     undefined.  [Dan Poirier]

  *) mod_remoteip: Fix a segfault when using mod_remoteip in conjunction with
     Allow/Deny. PR 49838.  [Andrew Skalski <voltara gmail.com>]

  *) core: DirectoryMatch can now match on the end of line character ($),
     and sub-directories of matched directories are no longer implicitly
     matched.  PR49809 [Eric Covener]

Changes with Apache 2.3.8

  *) suexec: Support large log files. PR 45856. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) core: Abort with sensible error message if no or more than one MPM is
     loaded. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy: Rename erroronstatus to failonstatus.
     [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>]

  *) mod_dav_fs: Fix broken "creationdate" property.
     Regression in version 2.3.7. [Rainer Jung]

Changes with Apache 2.3.7

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-1452 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_dav, mod_cache, mod_session: Fix Handling of requests without a path 
     segment. PR: 49246 [Mark Drayton, Jeff Trawick]

  *) mod_ldap: Properly check the result returned by apr_ldap_init. PR 46076.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_rewrite: Log errors if rewrite map files cannot be opened. PR 49639.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy_http: Support the 'ping' property for backend HTTP/1.1 servers
     via leveraging 100-Continue as the initial "request".
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) core/mod_authz_core: Introduce new access_checker_ex hook that enables
     mod_authz_core to bypass authentication if access should be allowed by
     IP address/env var/... [Stefan Fritsch]
 
  *) core: Introduce note_auth_failure hook to allow modules to add support
     for additional auth types. This makes ap_note_auth_failure() work with
     mod_auth_digest again. PR 48807. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) socache modules: return APR_NOTFOUND when a lookup is not found [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_authn_cache: new module [Nick Kew]

  *) configure: Add reallyall option for --enable-mods-shared. [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Fix Windows build when using VC6. [Gregg L. Smith <lists glewis com>]

  *) mod_rewrite: Allow to set environment variables without explicitly
     giving a value. [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_rewrite: Remove superfluous EOL from rewrite logging. [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_include: recognise "text/html; parameters" as text/html
     PR 49616 [Andrey Chernov <ache nagual.pp.ru>]

  *) CGI vars: allow PATH to be set by SetEnv, consistent with LD_LIBRARY_PATH
     PR 43906 [Nick Kew]

  *) Core: Extra robustness: don't try authz and segfault if authn
     fails to set r->user.  Log bug and return 500 instead.
     PR 42995 [Nick Kew]

  *) HTTP protocol filter: fix handling of longer chunk extensions
     PR 49474 [<tee.bee gmx.de>]

  *) Update SSL cipher suite and add example for SSLHonorCipherOrder.
     [Lars Eilebrecht, Rainer Jung]

  *) move AddOutputFilterByType from core to mod_filter.  This should
     fix nasty side-effects that happen when content_type is set
     more than once in processing a request, and make it fully
     compatible with dynamic and proxied contents. [Nick Kew]

  *) mod_log_config: Implement logging for sub second timestamps and
     request end time.  [Rainer Jung]

Changes with Apache 2.3.6

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_ssl: Comprehensive fix of the TLS renegotiation prefix injection
     attack when compiled against OpenSSL version 0.9.8m or later. Introduces
     the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive to reopen this vulnerability
     and offer unsafe legacy renegotiation with clients which do not yet
     support the new secure renegotiation protocol, RFC 5746.
     [Joe Orton, and with thanks to the OpenSSL Team]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_ssl: A partial fix for the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack
     by rejecting any client-initiated renegotiations. Forcibly disable
     keepalive for the connection if there is any buffered data readable. Any
     configuration which requires renegotiation for per-directory/location
     access control is still vulnerable, unless using OpenSSL >= 0.9.8l.
     [Joe Orton, Ruediger Pluem, Hartmut Keil <Hartmut.Keil adnovum.ch>]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0408 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_proxy_ajp: Respond with HTTP_BAD_REQUEST when the body is not sent
     when request headers indicate a request body is incoming; not a case of
     HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR.  [Niku Toivola <niku.toivola sulake.com>]

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0425 (cve.mitre.org)
     mod_isapi: Do not unload an isapi .dll module until the request
     processing is completed, avoiding orphaned callback pointers.
     [Brett Gervasoni <brettg senseofsecurity.com>, Jeff Trawick]

  *) core: Filter init functions are now run strictly once per request
     before handler invocation.  The init functions are no longer run
     for connection filters.  PR 49328.  [Joe Orton]

  *) core: Adjust the output filter chain correctly in an internal
     redirect from a subrequest, preserving filters from the main
     request as necessary.  PR 17629.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_cache: Explicitly allow cache implementations to cache a 206 Partial
     Response if they so choose to do so. Previously an attempt to cache a 206
     was arbitrarily allowed if the response contained an Expires or
     Cache-Control header, and arbitrarily denied if both headers were missing.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) core: Add microsecond timestamp fractions, process id and thread id
     to the error log. [Rainer Jung]

  *) configure: The "most" module set gets build by default.  [Rainer Jung]

  *) configure: Building dynamic modules (DSO) by default.  [Rainer Jung]

  *) configure: Fix broken VPATH build when using included APR.
     [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_session_crypto: Fix configure problem when building
     with APR 2 and for VPATH builds with included APR.
     [Rainer Jung]

  *) mod_session_crypto: API compatibility with APR 2 crypto and
     APR Util 1.x crypto. [Rainer Jung]

  *) ab: Fix memory leak with -v2 and SSL. PR 49383.
     [Pavel Kankovsky <peak argo troja mff cuni cz>]

  *) core: Add per-module and per-directory loglevel configuration.
           Add some more trace logging.
     mod_rewrite: Replace RewriteLog/RewriteLogLevel with trace log levels.
     mod_ssl: Replace LogLevelDebugDump with trace log levels.
     mod_ssl/mod_proxy*: Adjust loglevels to be less verbose at levels info
           and debug.
     mod_dumpio:  Replace DumpIOLogLevel with trace log levels.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_ldap: LDAP caching was suppressed (and ldap-status handler returns 
     title page only) when any mod_ldap directives were used in VirtualHost 
     context.  [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_disk_cache: Decline the opportunity to cache if the response is
     a 206 Partial Content. This stops a reverse proxied partial response
     from becoming cached, and then being served in subsequent responses.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_deflate: avoid the risk of forwarding data before headers are set.
     PR 49369 [Matthew Steele <mdsteele google.com>]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Ensure nested groups are checked when the 
     top-level group doesn't have any direct non-group members
     of attributes in AuthLDAPGroupAttribute. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Search or Comparison during authorization phase
     can use the credentials from the authentication phase
     (AuthLDAPSearchAsUSer,AuthLDAPCompareAsUser).
     PR 48340 [Domenico Rotiroti, Eric Covener]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Allow the initial DN search during authentication
     to use the HTTP username/pass instead of an anonymous or hard-coded
     LDAP id (AuthLDAPInitialBindAsUser, AuthLDAPInitialBindPattern).  
     [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap: Publish requested LDAP data with an AUTHORIZE_ prefix
     when this module is used for authorization. See AuthLDAPAuthorizePrefix.
     PR 45584 [Eric Covener]

  *) apxs -q: Stop filtering out ':' characters from the reported values.
     PR 45343.  [Bill Cole]

  *) prefork MPM: Run cleanups for final request when process exits gracefully.
     PR 43857.  [Tom Donovan]

  *) ab: fix number of requests sent by ab when keepalive is enabled.  PR 48497.
     [Bryn Dole <dole blekko.com>]

  *) Log an error for failures to read a chunk-size, and return 408 instead of
     413 when this is due to a read timeout.  This change also fixes some cases 
     of two error documents being sent in the response for the same scenario. 
     [Eric Covener] PR49167

  *) mod_proxy_balancer: Add new directive BalancerNonce to allow admin
     to control/set the nonce used in the balancer-manager application.
     [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_proxy_connect: Support port ranges in AllowConnect. PR 23673.

  *) htcacheclean: Report additional statistics about entries deleted.
     PR 48944. [Mark Drayton mark markdrayton.info]

  *) Introduce SSLFIPS directive to support OpenSSL FIPS_mode; permits all
     builds of mod_ssl to use 'SSLFIPS off' for portability, but the proper
     build of openssl is required for 'SSLFIPS on'.  PR 46270.

     connections and other protocol handlers (like mod_ftp). [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) mod_proxy_ajp: Really regard the operation a success, when the client
     aborted the connection. In addition adjust the log message if the client
     aborted the connection. [Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_ssl: Add the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive, which
     allows insecure renegotiation with clients which do not yet
     support the secure renegotiation protocol.  [Joe Orton]

  *) mod_ssl: Fix a potential I/O hang if a long list of trusted CAs
     is configured for client cert auth. PR 46952.  [Joe Orton]

     setting only, matching most of the documentation and examples. 
     PR 46541 [Paul Reder, Eric Covener] 

  *) mod_ldap: LDAPTrustedClientCert now accepts CA_DER/CA_BASE64 argument 
     types previously allowed only in LDAPTrustedGlobalCert. [Eric Covener]

  *) mod_negotiation: Preserve query string over multiviews negotiation.
     This buglet was fixed for type maps in 2.2.6, but the same issue
     affected multiviews and was overlooked.
     PR 33112 [Joergen Thomsen <apache jth.net>]

  *) mod_ldap: Eliminate a potential crash with multiple LDAPTrustedClientCert
     when some are not password-protected. [Eric Covener]

     before not after going into a catch-all code path.
     PR 41646.  [Nick Kew, Stuart Children]

     truncation. Useful when the log is being processed in real time
     using a command like tail. [Graham Leggett]

     httpd's writing of a pid file) so that it becomes possible to run
     more than one instance of htcacheclean on the same machine.
     [Graham Leggett]

  *) Log command line on startup, so there's a record of command line
     arguments like -f.  PR 48752.  [Dan Poirier]

  *) mod_proxy_http: Make sure that when an ErrorDocument is served
     from a reverse proxied URL, that the subrequest respects the status
     of the original request. This brings the behaviour of proxy_handler
     in line with default_handler. PR 47106. [Graham Leggett]

  *) Add new UnDefine directive to undefine a variable. PR 35350.
     [Stefan Fritsch]

  *) Make ap_pregsub(), used by AliasMatch and friends, use the same syntax

     such as mod_include. When enabled for a directory, POST requests
     to shtml files can be passed through to embedded scripts as POST
     requests, rather being downgraded to GET requests. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_ssl: Fix TLS upgrade (RFC 2817) support.  PR 41231.  [Joe Orton]

  *) scoreboard: Correctly declare ap_time_process_request.
     PR 43789 [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]

  *) core; scoreboard: ap_get_scoreboard_worker(sbh) now takes the sbh member
     from the connection rec, ap_get_scoreboard_worker(proc, thread) will now
     provide the unusual legacy lookup.  [William Rowe]

  *) mpm winnt: fix null pointer dereference
     PR 42572 [Davi Arnaut]

  *) mod_authnz_ldap, mod_authn_dbd: Tidy up the code to expose authn
     parameters to the environment. Improve portability to
     EBCDIC machines by using apr_toupper(). [Martin Kraemer]

  *) mod_ldap, mod_authnz_ldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability
     to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive
     where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X.
     PR 42891 [Paul J. Reder]

  *) mod_ssl: Add support for caching SSL Sessions in memcached. [Paul Querna]

  *) apxs: Enhance -q flag to print all known variables and their values
     when invoked without variable name(s). 
     [William Rowe, Sander Temme]

  *) apxs: Eliminate run-time check for mod_so.  PR 40653.
     [David M. Lee <dmlee crossroads.com>]

  *) beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when
     entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run().
     [Chris Darroch]

  *) netware MPM: Destroy pmain pool when exiting ap_mpm_run() so that
     cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed.
     [Chris Darroch]

  *) Fix issue which could cause error messages to be written to access logs
     on Win32.  PR 40476.  [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]

  *) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
     the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the
     AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
     location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]

  *) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
     into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
     mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
     value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
     may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
     weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]

  *) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]

  *) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets 
     the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE
     bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade.
     [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]

  *) ap_get_server_version() has been removed.  Third-party modules must 
     now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
     open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
     directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
     to the console.  Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
     and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
     appropriate.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
     to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and
     SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]

  *) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]
     configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.
     The default is none as this is far greater debugging resolution than 
     the typical administrator is prepared to untangle.  [William Rowe]

  *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is
     within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.
     [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]

  *) Worker and event MPMs: Remove improper scoreboard updates which were
     performed in the event of a fork() failure.  [Chris Darroch]

  *) Add support for fcgi:// proxies to mod_rewrite.
     [Markus Schiegl <ms schiegl.com>]

  *) Remove incorrect comments from scoreboard.h regarding conditional
     loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
     definitions relating to old life_status field.
     [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]

  *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers
     in ap_init_scoreboard().  [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]

  *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.
     [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna]

  *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
     [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]

  *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can 
     invalidate it.  Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
     [Jeff Trawick]

  *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
     authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'.  Move the directives
     'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias 
     into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy' 
     into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide 
     support for these directives.
     [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as 
     add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>' 
     and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR' 
     logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the 
     authorization provider vector and contains common authz 
     directives. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and 
     'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
     host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked 
     through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to 
     provider based. [Brad Nicholes]

  *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
     seconds to cache a document.
     [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]

  *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]

  *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
     [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]

  *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type.  The logging of a request and
     the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
     This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
     of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
     indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket.  [Brian Pane]

  *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
     and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]

  *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes  [Brian Pane]

  *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
     [Brian Pane]

  *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs.  PR 34264.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

  *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
     allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
     access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
     [Martin Kraemer, David Reid]
