Security Fix(es):

  * A use-after-free flaw was found in the way httpd handled invalid and
previously unregistered HTTP methods specified in the Limit directive used
in an .htaccess file. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to
disclose portions of the server memory, or cause httpd child process to
crash. (CVE-2017-9798)

  * A regression was found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 version of
httpd, causing comments in the 'Allow' and 'Deny' configuration lines to be
parsed incorrectly. A web administrator could unintentionally allow any
client to access a restricted HTTP resource. (CVE-2017-12171)

Red Hat would like to thank Hanno Bock for reporting CVE-2017-9798 and
KAWAHARA Masashi for reporting CVE-2017-12171.");
