[ MDVSA-2008:237 ] apache2

[dude67]

A vulnerability was discovered in the mod_proxy module in Apache where
it did not limit the number of forwarded interim responses, allowing
remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption)
via a large number of interim responses (CVE-2008-2364).

This update also provides HTTP/1.1 compliance fixes.

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
