Description:


   This update of apache fixes regressions and several
   security problems:

   *

   bnc#741243, CVE-2012-0031: Fixed a scoreboard
   corruption (shared mem segment) by child causes crash of
   privileged parent (invalid free()) during shutdown.

   *

   bnc#743743,CVE-2012-0053: Fixed an issue in error
   responses that could expose "httpOnly" cookies when no
   custom ErrorDocument is specified for status code 400".

   *

   bnc#736706, the SSL configuration template suggested
   weak ciphers

   *

   bnc#738855,CVE-2007-6750: The "mod_reqtimeout" module
   was backported from Apache 2.2.21 to help mitigate the
   "Slowloris" Denial of Service attack.

   You need to enable the "mod_reqtimeout" module in
   your existing apache configuration to make it effective,
   e.g. in the APACHE_MODULES line in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.
