    Description:


    This update for apache2 provides the following fixes:

    *

    Make sure that the tty from which Apache starts has
    echo mode set to on; otherwise, subsequently checking if
    echo mode was off results in the false detection that
    Apache is still waiting for a certificate pass-phrase to be
    entered, leading to a failure with Xen virtual guests that
    may have the terminal set to -echo. (bnc#852401)

    *

    Partially revert the fix for bnc#815621 (PR50481);
    this upstream change has unwanted side effects with large
    request headers, where the LimitRequestFieldsize option is
    ignored. (bnc#844212)
