Thanks for spotting this.

Another part of this problem is with hc->free. If a number of
large header buffers configured in a virtual server is less than
the one in the default server, saving buffers from hc->busy to
hc->free for pipelined requests will also overflow allocated
buffer. To fix this as well, the patch should be extend with
something like this:

+ cscf = ngx_http_get_module_srv_conf(hc->conf_ctx, ngx_http_core_module);

if (hc->free == NULL) {
hc->free = ngx_palloc(c->pool,

An alternative approach would be to convert hc->busy / hc->free to
use chain links. This will preserve the possibility to have
different large_client_header_buffers in different virtual hosts
as long as the host is known before the limit is reached. Patch:

Converted hc->busy/hc->free to use chain links.

Most notably, this fixes possible buffer overflows if number of buffers
in a virtual server is different from the one in the default server.
