Re: Apache web server use after free bugs (unfixed)

* Hanno Böck:

threading related error
=======================

In addition to the ASAN use after free reports, httpd logs threading
related errors:

AH00052: child pid [pid] exit signal Aborted (6)
apache2: tpp.c:84: __pthread_tpp_change_priority: Assertion `new_prio
== -1 || (new_prio >= fifo_min_prio && new_prio <= fifo_max_prio)'
failed.

This can happen if the mutex data is corrupted, so it's possible this
also caused by a use-after-free issue (if the memory is reallocated and
overwritten before the mutex operation that causes the assertion
failure).

Did you observe this with the pool debugger only?

Thanks,
Florian
