    Description:

    This update for apache2 fixes several issues.

    These security issues were fixed:

    - CVE-2017-9789: When under stress (closing many connections) the HTTP/2
    handling code would sometimes access memory after it has been freed,
    resulting in potentially erratic behaviour (bsc#1048575).
    - CVE-2017-7659: A maliciously constructed HTTP/2 request could cause
    mod_http2 to dereference a NULL pointer and crash the server process
    (bsc#1045160).

    These non-security issues were fixed:

    - Use the full path to a2enmod and a2dismod in the apache-22-24-upgrade
    script (bsc#1042037)
    - Fall back to 'localhost' as hostname in gensslcert (bsc#1057406)
