Synopsis:	Moderate: httpd security update
Issue date:	2009-05-27
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-1678 CVE-2009-1195

A flaw was found in the handling of compression structures between 
mod_ssl and OpenSSL. If too many connections were opened in a short 
period of time, all system memory and swap space would be consumed by 
httpd, negatively impacting other processes, or causing a system crash. 
(CVE-2008-1678)

A flaw was found in the handling of the "Options" and "AllowOverride"
directives. In configurations using the "AllowOverride" directive with
certain "Options=" arguments, local users were not restricted from
executing commands from a Server-Side-Include script as intended.
(CVE-2009-1195)

Users must restart httpd for this update to take effect.
