http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9690 POST - HttpRequestBase.parseParameters() infinite loop Summary: POST - HttpRequestBase.parseParameters() infinite loop Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.2 Final Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Connector:Other AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Summary: org.apache.catalina.connector.HttpRequestBase.parseParameters() might inifinite loop with POST data. BACKGROUND: We use apache 1.3 + tomcat 4.0.2 (Ajp13Connector). We run 2 apache instances and 4 tomcat instances. Occasionally we see an httpd process begin to *hog* cpu and not stop trying to hog cpu until httpd is restarted. Over time, another httpd process will reach this state until too much cpu is wasted on the bad httpd processes and a restart of apache is needed. During this time - one (or more) of the java processes will also begin to hog cpu. This is event does not happen quickly - it usually takes a week or so to reach a state where a restart is needed. Looking at MRTG graphs - we see *lots* of network activity appear (and disappear) with the start of the problem and subsequent restart of httpd. I performed some thread dumps of the java process. And noticed that there were 2 threads consistently stuck in a similar stack trace. (Over the course of a 45 minute investigation of several thread dumps of the same java process). Digging into the stack trace - I see that that the *runaway* threads are switching between suspended/runnable and their method calls are socketRead and socketWrite. I belive what is happening is an infinite loop in HttpRequestBase.parseParameters(). Here is the the offending snippet, lines 639-647: int max = getContentLength(); int max = getContentLength(); int len = 0; byte buf[] = new byte[getContentLength()]; ServletInputStream is = getInputStream(); while (len < max) { int next = is.read(buf, len, max - len); len += next; } == end sippet == I believe is.read is allowed to return 0 or a negative number. If that is true - then the loop never finishes - possibly causing the issues I am seeing. It seems occasionally for some reason - the POSTing of data from apache to tomcat seems to be failing but the not serious enough to warrant an IOException. Unfortuneately - I have not yet been able reproduce this in a lab environment yet. I only see this issue occur in a production environment. If anyone can validate this - I may be able to provide a patch.
