apr_pools: lock parent pool in pool_destroy_debug().
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
By using apr_pool_clear_debug() instead of pool_clear_debug() in
pool_destroy_debug() we gain the locking provided by the former and thus
protection from concurrent access from apr_pool_walk_tree(), which is
undefined behaviour.

While pool_destroy_debug()=>apr_pool_clear_debug()=>pool_clear_debug() calls
pool_destroy_debug() for all the children pools, this does not cause a deadlock
because apr_pool_clear_debug() locks the parent pool only (not the pool itself)
and thus pool_destroy_debug(pool->child) locks the current pool with no issue.

This fixes use-after-free like the below in httpd (with -D APR_POOL_DEBUG):
