we are observing issue with Apache + ECC and Apache + RSA which are listed below
httpd configuration:
<VirtualHost *:443>
Header edit Set-Cookie (.*) "$1;Secure"
Header edit Set-Cookie ^((?!(siemens_automation_language|breadcrumb_autorefresh|sinema_DLS)).*)$ $1;HttpOnly;Secure
ServerAdmin sinema@localhost.com
ServerName "localhost"
SSLEngine on
SSLProxyEngine on
SecRuleEngine On
SSLCertificateFile ../SSLCertificates/server/cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile ../SSLCertificates/server/key.pem
SSLCACertificateFile ../SSLCertificates/sinecnmsca/cacert.pem
in our application - 1 master and 100 slaves sending heartbeat every minute to the master (100 HB/min at master)
Apache with ECC :
Recently we had requirement to move to ECC - Apache + ECC certificate is used (curves namely secp256k1 or secp256r1 or secp384r1) . it works only for sometime and later the UI does not respond at all - issue is UI is very slow and later it throws error that the "localhost took time to respond" or "proxy error". In Apache error.log we could find below errors -
[Sat Nov 12 21:28:04.926797 2022] [socache_dbm:error] [pid 4280:tid 1092] (28)No space left on device: AH00808: Cannot store socache object to DBM file `C:/Apache24'
[Sat Nov 12 21:30:44.779314 2022] [mpm_winnt:error] [pid 4280:tid 2436] AH00326: Server ran out of threads to serve requests. Consider raising the ThreadsPerChild setting
[Mon Nov 14 07:22:54.300520 2022] [socache_dbm:error] [pid 4280:tid 1048] (28)No space left on device: AH00808: Cannot store socache object to DBM file `C:Apache24'
[Tue Nov 08 23:30:15.169189 2022] [proxy_http:error] [pid 8952:tid 1152] [client ::1:57555] AH01097: pass request body failed to [::1]:49115 (localhost) from ::1 ()
[Tue Nov 15 11:04:47.294809 2022] [proxy_http:error] [pid 8952:tid 1076] (70014)End of file found: [client ::1:54153] AH01102: error reading status line from remote server localhost:49115
We ran process monitor and started it on httpd process. after a while we see many socket CLOSE_WAIT leaks at Apache's end. which was not recovering on its own . Restart of apache was the only solution here
this issue of apache with ECC is observed while using tlsv1.2 as well as tlsv1.3
Apache with RSA :
when used with tlsv1.2
Apache + RSA certificate (key length 2048/3072)= works fine. No issues were observed for over 5 years
but when used with tlsv1.3
all the above mentioned issues for apache with ECC were observed here too. |

Code: |
<If "%{SERVER_PORT} == '443'">
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; preload"
</IfModule>
</If>
