Description

We have an internal tool that requires all requests to be ran through auth_request. When we upgraded from 1.10.1 to 1.10.2, we noticed an increase in 400 bad request. When we would look at our nodeJS backend, we saw that the JSON body was corrupt. The request size does not matter and happens intermittently. We were able to fix the issue by rolling back to 1.10.1.

Example request body with malformed JSON in the beginning of the request:

14/Nov/2016:23:10:28 +0000 - POST /v2/heartbeat HTTP/2.0 --- h\x83}o\xBBm\x00\x00h\x83}o\xBBm\x00\x00n[1\xA0\x08\x00\x00n[1\xA0\x08\x00\x00st\x22:{\x22url\x22:\x22

14/Nov/2016:23:15:12 +0000 - POST /v2/heartbeat HTTP/2.0 --- {\x22events\x22:[{\x22code\x22:\x22727.1998\x22,\x22data\x22:

Could you provide a debugging log?

Are you able to reproduce the issue without 3-rd party modules?

comment:3 by kcannon.gaikai.com@…, 8 years ago

We are not able to reproduce this issue without using 3-rd party modules. We have seen the same issue with access_by_lua as well. Is it typical for a patch release to break 3-rd party modules?

Resolution: worksforme
Status: newclosed

I wasn't able to reproduce it too with HTTP/2 and the auth request module.

Replying to kcannon.gaikai.com@…:

Unfortunately some 3rd-party modules abuse nginx internal API interfaces. They tries to access and modify structures that they are not supposed to. As a result, such modules may get broken even due to some unrelated bug fixes.

Looks like this was fixed in 1.10.3 (https://nginx.org/en/CHANGES-1.10)

Bugfix: when using HTTP/2 and the "limit_req" or "auth_request"

directives client request body might be corrupted; the bug had
appeared in 1.10.2.
