I've reproduced this in a Hardy VM with 128MB of memory. Beyond the default server install, I installed: apache2-mpm-worker ssl-cert
I enabled ssl with a2enmod. I created a very simple ssl config for apache and enabled it with a2ensite. Then, from the VM host, I ran: time ab -n 100000 -c 20 -f tls1 https://192.168.122.74:443/ It locked up the VM. I could see apache2 consuming all virtual memory, and the load pegged at 20.87. Interestingly, I couldn't shutdown or ctrl-alt-delete the VM to gracefully reset it to a sane state. :-Dustin ** Changed in: apache2 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- memory leaks in apache2 when running mod_ssl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
