apache 1.3 crashes

Hi,

I founded my apache crashes sometimes. Logs show this:

Code: Select all
Aug 10 06:26:16 alus kernel: PAX: bytes at PC: <invalid address>.
Aug 10 06:26:16 alus kernel: PAX: From x.x.x.x: execution attempt in: <NULL>, 00000000-00000000 00000000

How to solve this problem?

Thanks

apache is dereferencing a NULL function pointer. you could enable coredumping and analyze the coredump then we can tell more, otherwise it's hard to fix properly.

It seems...I think so, the PaX protect your linux system from this problem ?

The fixed libpng is available in linux distributions.
