3. Description:

The httpd packages provide the Apache HTTP Server, a powerful, efficient,
and extensible web server.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the mod_cache httpd
module handled Content-Type headers. A malicious HTTP server could cause
the httpd child process to crash when the Apache HTTP server was configured
to proxy to a server with caching enabled. (CVE-2014-3581)

A flaw was found in the way httpd handled HTTP Trailer headers when
processing requests using chunked encoding. A malicious client could use
Trailer headers to set additional HTTP headers after header processing was
performed by other modules. This could, for example, lead to a bypass of
header restrictions defined with mod_headers. (CVE-2013-5704)

Note: With this update, httpd has been modified to not merge HTTP Trailer
headers with other HTTP request headers. A newly introduced configuration
directive MergeTrailers can be used to re-enable the old method of
processing Trailer headers, which also re-introduces the aforementioned
flaw.

This update also fixes the following bug:

* Prior to this update, the mod_proxy_wstunnel module failed to set up an
SSL connection when configured to use a back end server using the “wss:”
URL scheme, causing proxied connections to fail. In these updated packages,
SSL is used when proxying to “wss:” back end servers. (BZ#1141950)

All httpd24-httpd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing
the updated packages, the httpd24-httpd service will be restarted
automatically.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
