Security Fix(es) :
Note: After this update, httpd will no longer pass the value of the Proxy request header to scripts via the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.
Bug Fix(es) :
In a caching proxy configuration, the mod_cache module would treat content as stale if the Expires header changed when refreshing a cached response. As a consequence, an origin server returning content without a fixed Expires header would not be treated as cacheable. The mod_cache module has been fixed to ignore changes in the Expires header when refreshing content.
As a result, such content is now cacheable, improving performance and reducing load at the origin server.
The HTTP status code 451 ‘Unavailable For Legal Reasons’ was not usable in the httpd configuration. As a consequence, modules such as mod_rewrite could not be configured to return a 451 error if required for legal purposes. The 451 status code has been added to the list of available error codes, and modules can now be configured to return a 451 error if required.

"Security Fix(es) :
- It was discovered that httpd used the value of the Proxy
header from HTTP requests to initialize the HTTP_PROXY
environment variable for CGI scripts, which in turn was
incorrectly used by certain HTTP client implementations
to configure the proxy for outgoing HTTP requests. A
remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to redirect
HTTP requests performed by a CGI script to an
attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request.
(CVE-2016-5387)
Note: After this update, httpd will no longer pass the value of the
Proxy request header to scripts via the HTTP_PROXY environment
