#1337: Bad assert causes panic on invalid http status codes
-------------------+----------------------
Reporter: mha | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: normal
Milestone: | Component: varnishd
Version: 3.0.4 | Severity: major
Keywords: |
-------------------+----------------------
A backend returning http status code 008 (for example) causes varnish to
panic due to an assert on line 103 of cache_http.c:
{{{
const char *
http_StatusMessage(unsigned status)
{
struct http_msg *mp;
assert(status >= 100 && status <= 999);
for (mp = http_msg; mp->nbr != 0 && mp->nbr <= status; mp++)
if (mp->nbr == status)
return (mp->txt);
return ("Unknown Error");
}
}}}
While this is not a valid http status code, surely the system shouldn't
panic on that - it should just return an error.
