    Description:


    This update for apache2 provides the following fixes:

    Security issues fixed:

    * CVE-2017-9788: The value placeholder in [Proxy-]Authorization headers of
    type 'Digest' was not initialized or reset before or between successive
    key=value assignments by mod_auth_digest. Providing an initial key with
    no '=' assignment could reflect the stale value of uninitialized pool
    memory used by the prior request, leading to leakage of potentially
    confidential information, and a segfault in other cases resulting in
    denial of service. (bsc#1048576)
    * CVE-2017-7679: mod_mime could have read one byte past the end of a
    buffer when sending a malicious Content-Type response header leading to
    information leak or crash. (bsc#1045060)
    * CVE-2017-3169: mod_ssl may have dereferenced a NULL pointer when
    third-party modules call ap_hook_process_connection() during an HTTP
    request to an HTTPS port leading to crash. (bsc#1045062)
    * CVE-2017-3167: Use of the ap_get_basic_auth_pw() by third-party modules
    outside of the authentication phase may have lead to authentication
    requirements being bypassed. (bsc#1045065)

    Non-security issues fixed:

    - Re-order cipher suites to keep exclusion list at the end. (bsc#1043484,
    bsc#1043607)
    - Remove /usr/bin/http2 link only during apache2 package uninstall, not
    upgrade. (bsc#1041830)
    - In gensslcert, use hostname when fqdn is too long. (bsc#1035829)
