HTTP Status Code Control Fix +**File:** `src/msc_utils.c` + +**Problem:** ModSecurity couldn't set HTTP status codes - interventions returned 400 instead of configured status (e.g., 403). + +**Root Cause:** Code only set `r->status_line` but not `r->status`. + +**Solution:** +```c +// OLD CODE: +f->r->status_line = ap_get_status_line(status); + +// FIXED CODE: +f->r->status = status; // ← ADDED THIS +f->r->status_line = ap_get_status_line(status); +``` + +### 3. Apache Hook Phase Fix +**File:** `src/mod_security3.c` + +**Problem:** Request body reading attempted in `fixups` hook, but Apache requires body reading in `handler` phase. + +**Solution:** Changed from `ap_hook_fixups` to `ap_hook_handler`: +```c +// OLD: ap_hook_fixups(hook_request_late, ...) +// NEW: ap_hook_handler(hook_request_late, ...) +``` + +**Critical Insight:** Learned from analyzing other Apache modules (mod_proxy_scgi, etc.) - they all read request bodies in handler phase, not fixups. + +### 4. Filter Removal Bug Fix +**File:** `src/msc_filters.c` + +**Problem:** Input filter called `ap_remove_output_filter()` instead of `ap_remove_input_filter()`. + +**Solution:** +```c +// OLD: ap_remove_output_filter(f); +// NEW: ap_remove_input_filter(f); +``` + +### 5. Error Handling Enhancement +**File:** `src/msc_filters.c` + +**Problem:** Return value of `apr_bucket_read()` was not checked. + +**Solution:** Added error checking: +```c +apr_status_t rv; +rv = apr_bucket_read(pbktIn, &data, &len, APR_BLOCK_READ); +if (rv != APR_SUCCESS) { + ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_ERR, rv, f->r->server, + "ModSecurity: Error reading response body bucket"); + return rv; +} +``` + +### 6. Context Creation Timing Fix +**File:** `src/mod_security3.c` + +**Problem:** `hook_insert_filter` expected context to exist but it wasn't created yet. + +**Solution:** Create context in `hook_insert_filter` if it doesn't exist: +```c +msr = retrieve_tx_context(r); +if (msr == NULL) { + msr = create_tx_context(r); // Create if needed + if (msr == NULL) return; +} +``` + +### 7. Request Body Reading Implementation +**File:** `src/mod_security3.c` + +**Problem:** Apache doesn't automatically read request bodies - modules must explicitly request them. + +**Solution:** Added proper body reading in handler: +```c +int rc = ap_setup_client_block(r, REQUEST_CHUNKED_ERROR); +if (rc != OK) return rc; + +if (ap_should_client_block(r)) { + char buffer[HUGE_STRING_LEN]; + apr_off_t len; + while ((len = ap_get_client_block(r, buffer, sizeof(buffer))) > 0) { + // Input filter intercepts and buffers to ModSecurity + } +} + +msc_process_request_body(msr->t); // Process after complete read +``` + +## Architecture Understanding + +### Apache Filter Chain vs Hook Phases +- **Input Filters:** Passive - only run when someone reads the request body +- **Hooks:** Active - run at specific phases of request processing +- **Key Insight:** Body reading must happen in **handler phase**, not earlier hooks + +### Request Processing Flow +1. `hook_insert_filter` - Creates context, adds input/output filters +2. `hook_request_late` (as handler) - Reads body, processes headers +3.

Dockerfile.fuzz is kept separate from the main Dockerfile: it layers valgrind and curl on top of the already-built modsec3-apache-test image rather than duplicating its build steps. A manual/scheduled-only workflow (.github/workflows/soak.yml) runs this; it is not wired into the on-PR build since a soak under valgrind runs 10-50x slower and this connector has known open leaks, so the job is expected to fail until those are fixed. Confirmed locally: the memcheck soak reproduces issue #82 (a rules_set leaked on every graceful restart, via msc_create_rules_set) and additionally finds an unbounded per-request leak in ModSecurity::Transaction::intervention's strdup'd message; the helgrind soak runs cleanly on the connector's own code (its two findings are in httpd core / libp11-kit, not this module).
