Workaround configured for potential Apache DOS issue
by Ken Causey 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

I noticed a report of a potential new DOS (apparently already being exploited) for all versions of Apache this morning. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-announce/201108.mbox/%3C2011… I have installed the Option 2 workaround in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. I tried the Option 1 first but apache complains that RequestHeader unset require two arguments which contradicts the documentation. But then I found http://people.apache.org/~dirkx/CVE-2011-3192.txt another version of this same announcement. Newer? I don't know. But it says to use Option 1 only for Apache 2.2. Ken

Right, so that should give anyone that ever created an account on the site Reporter access, you will just have to assign Developer rights (or what have you) for each user that needs more than that.

On request (possibly with a fee) we can have something like that with Hetzner. But not, I don't believe, on any sort of permanent basis. We have used it in the past.

Good idea, thank for volunteering! ;) I bumped you up to administrator, care to try your hand at adding Spoon? And did you mean Project or Category? I also bumped Randal. Other suggestions?

RE: [Box-Admins] SqueakMap somewhat high CPU usage
by Ken Causey 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Oh, I should clarify that during all this every time I have checked SqueakMap has been up and responsive. So it's not that it's not working (as far as I'm aware), it's just I'm concerned about what it's doing and that it is at least slightly reducing the overall system responsiveness.

SqueakMap somewhat high CPU usage
by Ken Causey 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Göran, For some days now I've noticed a somewhat higher than usual CPU usage by SqueakMap on the server. It's not terrible, normally only single digit % but it is higher than it has been in the past (it tends to be at the top of the list by cpu usage) and I see peaks considerably higher. I've checked the access log and this continues even when there are no requests logged. I could simply restart the SqueakMap process but I wanted to see if you wanted to take a look first. Thanks, Ken

The image was not responding at all, even via VNC so I replaced the image/changes with one backed up early on the 31st. It is now working but there is at least one debugger up and I suggest you log in via VNC to check over things.

When I restarted it yesterday, it was working immediately after. That said, it does not seem to work after restarting now. I have restarted it so it can be accessed via VNC now.
