After sending the GOAWAY frame, a connection is now closed using
the lingering close mechanism.
This allows for the reliable delivery of the GOAWAY frames, while
also fixing connection resets observed when http2_max_requests is
reached (ticket #1250), or with graceful shutdown (ticket #1544),
when some additional data from the client is received on a fully
closed connection.
For HTTP/2, the settings lingering_close, lingering_timeout, and
lingering_time are taken from the "server" level.
Listening UNIX sockets were not removed on graceful shutdown, preventing
the next runs. The fix is to replace the custom socket closing code in
ngx_master_process_cycle() by the ngx_close_listening_sockets() call.
When changing binary, sending a SIGTERM to the new binary's master process
should not remove inherited UNIX sockets unless the old binary's master
process has exited.
As per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1,
: A server can send a complete response prior to the client
: sending an entire request if the response does not depend on
: any portion of the request that has not been sent and
: received. When this is true, a server MAY request that the
: client abort transmission of a request without error by
: sending a RST_STREAM with an error code of NO_ERROR after
: sending a complete response (i.e., a frame with the
: END_STREAM flag). Clients MUST NOT discard responses as a
: result of receiving such a RST_STREAM, though clients can
: always discard responses at their discretion for other
: reasons.
Previously, RST_STREAM(NO_ERROR) received from upstream after
a frame with the END_STREAM flag was incorrectly treated as an
error. Now, a single RST_STREAM(NO_ERROR) is properly handled.
This fixes problems observed with modern grpc-c [1], as well
as with the Go gRPC module.

The request processing is delayed by a timer. Since nginx updates
internal time once at the start of each event loop iteration, this
normally ensures constant time delay, adding a mitigation from
time-based attacks.
A notable exception to this is the case when there are no additional
events before the timer expires. To ensure constant-time processing
in this case as well, we trigger an additional event loop iteration
by posting a dummy event for the next event loop iteration.
While empty replacements were caught at run-time, parsing code
of the "rewrite" directive expects that a minimum length of the
"replacement" argument is 1.
If a rewritten URI has the null character, only a part of URI was
copied to a memory buffer allocated for path. In some setups this
could be exploited to expose uninitialized memory via the Location
header.
The "alias" directive cannot be used in the same location where URI
was rewritten. This has been detected in the "rewrite ... break"
case, but not when the standalone "break" directive was used.
This change also fixes proxy_pass with URI component in a similar
case:
location /aaa/ {
rewrite ^ /xxx/yyy;
break;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/bbb/;
}
Previously, the "/bbb/yyy" would be sent to a backend instead of
"/xxx/yyy". And if location's prefix was longer than the rewritten
URI, a segmentation fault might occur.
This could happen when graceful shutdown configured by worker_shutdown_timeout
times out and is then followed by another timeout such as proxy_read_timeout.
In this case, the HEADERS frame is added to the output queue, but attempt to
send it fails (due to c->error forcibly set during graceful shutdown timeout).
This triggers request finalization which attempts to close the stream. But the
stream cannot be closed because there is a frame in the output queue, and the
connection cannot be finalized. This leaves the connection open without any
timer events leading to alert.
The fix is to post write event when sending output queue fails on c->error.
That will finalize the connection.
Don't waste server resources by sending RST_STREAM frames. Instead,
reject WINDOW_UPDATE frames with invalid zero increment by closing
connection with PROTOCOL_ERROR.
Don't waste server resources by sending RST_STREAM frames. Instead,
reject HEADERS and PRIORITY frames with self-dependency by closing
connection with PROTOCOL_ERROR.
Fixed excessive memory growth and CPU usage if stream windows are
manipulated in a way that results in generating many small DATA frames.
Fix is to limit the number of simultaneously allocated DATA frames.
If a complex value is expected to be of type size_t, and the compiled
value is constant, the constant size_t value is remembered at compile
time.
The value is accessed through ngx_http_complex_value_size() which
either returns the remembered constant or evaluates the expression
and parses it as size_t.
An attack that continuously switches HTTP/2 connection between
idle and active states can result in excessive CPU usage.
This is because when a connection switches to the idle state,
all of its memory pool caches are freed.
This change limits the maximum allowed number of idle state
switches to 10 * http2_max_requests (i.e., 10000 by default).
This limits possible CPU usage in one connection, and also
imposes a limit on the maximum lifetime of a connection.
Initially reported by Gal Goldshtein from F5 Networks.
Fixed uncontrolled memory growth in case peer is flooding us with
some frames (e.g., SETTINGS and PING) and doesn't read data. Fix
is to limit the number of allocated control frames.
Before 4a8c9139e579, ngx_resolver_create() didn't use configuration
pool, and allocations were done using malloc().
In 016352c19049, when resolver gained support of several servers,
new allocations were done from the pool.
While 325b3042edd6 fixed it on MINIX, it broke it on systems
that output the word "version" on several lines with "cc -v".
The fix is to only consider "clang version" or "LLVM version"
as clang version, but this time only using sed(1).
- use normal prefixes for types and macros
- removed some macros and types
- revised debug messages
- removed useless check of ngx_sock_ntop() returning 0
- removed special processing of AF_UNSPEC
The fields "uri", "location", and "url" from ngx_http_upstream_conf_t
moved to ngx_http_proxy_loc_conf_t and ngx_http_proxy_vars_t, reflect
this change in create_loc_conf comments.
If during configuration parsing of the geo directive the memory
allocation has failed, pool used to parse configuration inside
the block, and sometimes the temporary pool were not destroyed.
In particular, if a stream object allocation failed, and a client sent
the PRIORITY frame for this stream, ngx_http_v2_set_dependency() could
dereference a null pointer while trying to re-parent a dependency node.
r->headers_in.host can be NULL in ngx_http_v2_push_resource().
This happens when a request is terminated with 400 before the :authority
or Host header is parsed, and either pushing is enabled on the server{}
level or error_page 400 redirects to a location with pushes configured.
Found by Coverity (CID 1429156).
Resources to be pushed are configured with the "http2_push" directive.
Also, preload links from the Link response headers, as described in
https://www.w3.org/TR/preload/#server-push-http-2, can be pushed, if
enabled with the "http2_push_preload" directive.
Only relative URIs with absolute paths can be pushed.
The number of concurrent pushes is normally limited by a client, but
cannot exceed a hard limit set by the "http2_max_concurrent_pushes"
directive.
On some systems, it's possible that reaper of orphaned processes is
set to something other than "init" process. On such systems, the
changing binary procedure did not work.
The fix is to check if PPID has changed, instead of assuming it's
always 1 for orphaned processes.
If proxy_next_upstream includes http_503/http_504, and upstream
returns 503/504, $upstream_status converted this to 502 for any
values except the last one.
It is to be used as a bitmask with various bits set/reset when appropriate.
63b8b157b776 made a similar change to ngx_http_upstream_rr_peer_t.down and
ngx_stream_upstream_rr_peer_t.down.
On Windows, a worker process does not call ngx_slab_init() from
ngx_init_zone_pool(), so ngx_slab_max_size, ngx_slab_exact_size,
and ngx_slab_exact_shift were left uninitialized.
The variable was considered non-existent in the absence of any
valid_referers directives.
Given the following config snippet,
location / {
return 200 $invalid_referer;
}
location /referer {
valid_referers server_names;
}
"location /" should work identically and independently on other
"location /referer".
The fix is to always add the $invalid_referer variable as long
as the module is compiled in, as is done by other modules.
The shared objects should generally be allocated from shared memory.
While peers->name and the data it points to allocated from cf->pool
happened to work on UNIX, it broke on Windows. On UNIX this worked
only because the shared memory zone for upstreams is re-created for
every new configuration.
But on Windows, a worker process does not inherit the address space
of the master process, so the peers->name pointed to data allocated
from cf->pool by the master process, and was invalid.
It is safe because re-sending still works during graceful shutdown as
long as resolving takes place (and resolve tasks set their own timeouts
that are not cancelable).
Also, the new ctx->cancelable flag can be set to make resolve task's
timeout event cancelable.
Notably, on ppc64 with 64k pagesize, slab 0 (of size 8) requires
128 64-bit elements for bitmasks. The code bogusly assumed that
one uintptr_t is enough for bitmasks plus at least one free slot.
