           Summary: status-worker: Bug in request parameter parsing for
                    update action
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.26
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Native:JK
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Hi,

using mod_jk 1.2.26, i noticed an serious error in parameter parsing of the
status worker using the update action:

In a service script i'm using an URL like

  $STATUS_URL/jk-status?mime=txt&cmd=update&w=$CLUSTER&sw=$WORKER&wa=$STATE

to switch the workers of clustered tomcat setup. In principle, all things work
right. But if i (erroneously) set the empty value for the sub-worker tag
(...&sw=&...), something completely wrong will happen: You'll got an
"OK"-message and the sticky session attribute will be disabled!

Looks to me like a typical overwriting of a parameter block through a dangling
pointer.

There might be more of this kind of bugs, one may do a complete revision of the
parameter parsing.
