Dear Debian Apache Maintainers,

apache2 fill error.log with segmentation fault:

etc.

I use ProxyPass to forward to gitit (see the Debian package 'gitit') and it seems
if I stop gitit itself, there is no segmentation fault anymore.
In fact it seems accessing the proxied gitit triggers the segv.

I downgraded to 2.4.67-1~deb13u3 and so far there is no segmentation fault whatever I do.

Cheers,
Bill

Hi,

2.4.69-1~deb13u1 is coming soon, hope this will fix your issue

I upgraded to 2.4.69-1~deb13u1 and indeed it fixes this bug.

My guess is that it is related to this fix:
  *) mod_dir: Fix a crash in fixup_dir for a request not mapped to any type.

Thanks for uploading 2.4.69-1!
