Bug #79696 [NEW]: Child exited Segmentation fault, __strchr_sse2, putenv

From: andrixnet at yahoo dot com Operating system: Linux Slackware-14.2 PHP version: 7.3.19 Package: Apache2 related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Child exited Segmentation fault, __strchr_sse2, putenv Description: ------------ I have several Slackware-14.2 servers upgraded to latest security patches and with PHP-7.3 built from source. (distro comes with 5.6). Building PHP following instructions from this post: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/building-php-7-3-and-php-7-4-on-slackware-14-2-a-4175671161/ and references. I run several WordPress sites with WooCommerce. They all run under HTTPS. mod_ssl according to distro. The same problem happened on PHP-7.1.x and persisted after upgrade to PHP-7.3.x. I am getting intermittent errors in Apache error_log (the main server log, not the virtualhost). AH00051: child pid 5584 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) In order to better analyze the situation I rebuilt Apache and PHP with debug symbols, I enabled core dumps in Apache and opened the core dump with gdb, resulting in the trace below. Tested with 7.3.17 and 7.3.19. Apache runs with mpm_event module. If I run Apache with mpm_prefork, the issue does not happen (at least during tests for several hours). (workaround tried after reading last answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52224388/segmentation-fault-with-symfony-4-1-php-7-1-2x ) Test script: --------------- I cannot provide explicit test script, it happens using WordPress with WooCommerce. I can say that at least happens while editing products (in this app) and while visiting some other components/pages. I am not sure how much it depends on the theme or other plugins installed in WP, but I can reproduce this fairly certain as described. End-user result is either a blank page (rare) or incomplete/erroneous page load (error occured during an AJAX call) Various other WP sites also yield this behaviour, including (but less frequent) errors in error_log such as: Out of memory (no timesptamp) zend_mm_heap_corrupted (no timestamp) and frequent AH00051: child pid 5584 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) This happens on multiple servers based on Slackware-14.2 with equivalent configuration. It started to happen roughly after WP version got to 5.4. I do host WP sites (http only) that don't seem to yield these errors, reason unknown. I do host custom built PHP sites that do not yield these errors, reason unknown. Further backtraces and details of my investigation have been posted on the Slackware support forum:
