   An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has four
   fixes is now available. It includes one version update.

Description:


   This update of apache2 and libapr1 fixes regressions and
   several security  problems.

   * CVE-2012-0031: Fixed a scoreboard corruption (shared
   mem segment) by child causes crash of privileged parent
   (invalid free()) during shutdown.
   * CVE-2012-0053: Fixed an issue in error responses that
   could expose "httpOnly" cookies when no custom
   ErrorDocument is specified for status code 400".
   * CVE-2007-6750: The "mod_reqtimeout" module was
   backported from Apache 2.2.21 to help mitigate the
   "Slowloris" Denial of Service attack.

   You need to enable the "mod_reqtimeout" module in your
   existing apache  configuration to make it effective, e.g.
   in the APACHE_MODULES line in  /etc/sysconfig/apache2. For
   more detailed information, check also the README file.

   Also the following bugs have been fixed:

   * Fixed init script action "check-reload" to avoid
   potential crashes. bnc#728876
   * An overlapping memcpy() was replaced by memmove() to
   make this work with newer glibcs. bnc#738067 bnc#741874
   * libapr1: reset errno to zero to not return previous
   value despite good status of new operation. bnc#739783
