This apache2 update fixes the following security issues:
- CRIME types of attack, based on size and timing analysis of compressed
content, are now mitigated by the new SSLCompression directive, set to
"no" in /etc/apache2/ssl-global.conf
- ssl-global.conf: SSLHonorCipherOrder set to on
- SSLCipherSuite updates to vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.template and
apache2-default-vhost-ssl.conf
- new config option CGIDScriptTimeout set to 60s in new file
conf.d/cgid-timeout.conf, preventing worker processes hanging forever
if a cgi launched from them has stopped reading input from the server.
(bnc#887768, CVE-2014-0231)
- fix for mod_status race condition in scoreboard handling and
consecutive heap overflow and information disclosure if access to
mod_status is granted to a potential attacker. (bnc#887765,
CVE-2014-0226)
- fixed improperly handled whitespace characters in CDATA sections of
requests to mod_dav can lead to a crash, resulting in a DoS against
the server. (bnc#869105, CVE-2013-6438)
- fix for crash in parsing cookie content, resulting in a DoS against
the server. (bnc#869106, CVE-2014-0098)
