This update fixes a remote denial of service bug (memory
exhaustion) in the Apache 2 HTTP server, that could be
triggered by remote attackers using multiple overlapping
Request Ranges. (CVE-2011-3192)

It also fixes some non-security bugs:

  • take LimitRequestFieldsize config option into account
    when parsing headers from backend. Thereby avoid that the
    receiving buffers are too small. bnc#690734.
  • add / when on a directory to feed correctly linked
    listings. bnc#661597
  • a2enmod shalt not disable a module in query mode.
    bnc#663359
  • New option SSLRenegBufferSize fixes "413 Request
    Entity Too Large occur" problem.
  • fixes graceful restart hangs, bnc#555098.
