Re: squid exiting on signal 6

Hello ludovit,

We experienced the similar problems of crashing squid with "signal 6 and status 0" symptoms in the /var/log/messages. There were hundreds of crashes per hour during the working hours. There were also many crashes during night hours. And I had no idea what the cause of the problem was.
But your case shed light on the problem.

I captured network traffic and saw in the dump many requests to IPv6 addresses like this: POST http://[2001:67c:4e8:f004::a]:80/api HTTP/1.1\r\n
I think that the requests were generated by the Telegram application, because neighboring similar requests were addressed to Telegram IPv4 pools: POST http://91.105.192.100:80/api HTTP/1.1\r\n

To fix the problem somehow, I added the following rules to the very beginning of the SQUID configuration:
  acl urldst_ipv6 url_regex ^http://\[
  http_access deny urldst_ipv6
 
Now it seems the problem has been solved.

I was wondering if this is a SQUID bug. In my opinion, SQUID should not crash on requests to IPv6 resources, but should send a response with an error, for example, Bad gateway 502, or Not Acceptable 406.


Kind regards,
    Ankor.

So the solution is to reenable IPv6 in the squid, as well as in the OS
network stack? Am I right?

Thank you.
