(RHSA-2004:084) httpd security update

The Apache HTTP server is a powerful, full-featured, efficient, and
freely-available Web server.

A memory leak in mod_ssl in the Apache HTTP Server prior to version 2.0.49
allows a remote denial of service attack against an SSL-enabled server. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CAN-2004-0113 to this issue.

This update also includes various bug fixes, including:

• improvements to the mod_expires, mod_dav, mod_ssl and mod_proxy modules

• a fix for a bug causing core dumps during configuration parsing on the
  IA64 platform

• an updated version of mod_include fixing several edge cases in the SSI parser

Additionally, the mod_logio module is now included.

Users of the Apache HTTP server should upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches that address these issues.
