Issue with log pipe to logger

Hey everyone,

It looks to me like I may have stumbled over a bug, I tested this on
Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 (2.4.58) so I realize that it is not with the
latest apache version but that is what I have available right now.

Background - I'm trying to ship my logs off to a central logserver
while completely bypassing local storage to reduce write stress on my
local storage device (sata ssd).

When setting
ErrorLog '|/usr/bin/logger -p local3.err -t apache2'
CustomLog '|/usr/bin/logger -t apache2 -p local3.info' combined

The commands that gets run by apache are:
/usr/bin/logger -p local3 err -t apache2
/usr/bin/logger -t apache2 -p local3 info

Note how "local3.X" became "local3 X" rendering the command invalid.

I have tried different ways of escaping and quoting local3.X to no avail.

The only thing that works is leaving the log facility out of the
command, rendering
/usr/bin/logger -p err -t apache2
/usr/bin/logger -t apache2 -p info

While this is good enough for my usecase it does seem wrong to me that
a command is modified by apache2 and ends up in an invalid state as a
result.

Should I open a bug and if so where?
Thanks,
