Description

OK: 1.4.56
Broken: 1.4.57
Broken : 1.4.58

Example config:


server.modules += ( "mod_scgi" )
scgi.server = (
    "/RPC2" =>
        ((
             "socket" => "/tmp/a_socket",
              "check-local" => "disable",
         ))
)

GET /RPC2

lighttpd 1.4.58 crashes with this backtrace in these 2 conditions :
  • the file /tmp/a_socket doesn't exist
  • the socket file exists and no process listen on it

Thanks for letting us know. It appears that gw_host * const host member (host->host) is NULL and derefencing (host->host->ptr) results in the a crash. I'll trace back to find out why.

While lighttpd does not start the backend (via "bin-path"), then there is a chance that host->host might not be initialized.

There are some other places in gw_backend.c which I will fix, but those paths are only hit when debug is enabled.
