"This update includes the latest release of httpd 2.2. A security issue
is fixed in this update: A flaw was found in the handling of excessive
interim responses from an origin server when using mod_proxy_http. In
a forward proxy configuration, if a user of the proxy could be tricked
into visiting a malicious web server, the proxy could be forced into
consuming a large amount of stack or heap memory. This could lead to
an eventual process crash due to stack space exhaustion.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
