> One of the tests done on the [IronBee|http://www.ironbee.com] plugin for TrafficServer is to send a [OWASP Zap|https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Zed_Attack_Proxy_Project] scan through the proxy at a DokuWiki server. When this is done TrafficServer will crash. The crash is not always at the same point in the scan, but is always when IronBee is generating a custom block page. We've reviewed IronBee and cannot find anything it is doing to provoke the crash.
> The crash is always in {{HttpTunnel::producer_run (this=this@entry=0xaf6021c8, p=p@entry=0xaf6022f8)}} and in all cases {{c->vc}} is invalid.
> Our investigations correlated the crash with HttpSM's {{ua_session->m_active}} being false. More specifically we suspect that {{Http::SM::setup_internal_transfer()}} starts with {{ua_session->m_active}} as true and then closes it -- setting {{ua_session->m_active}} to false -- before {{tunnel.tunnel_run(p)}} is called at the end of the function.
> Please refer to two attachments. The first is a copy of the stack trace we've been working off of. Every crash has a remarkably similar call stack. The second attachment is a patch that is working in our labs.
> This crash also appears in the TrafficServer 4.x code, and the same patch seems to resolve it.
