Changes with Apache 2.3.7
*) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_ssl: Comprehensive fix of the TLS renegotiation prefix injection
attack when compiled against OpenSSL version 0.9.8m or later. Introduces
the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive to reopen this vulnerability
and offer unsafe legacy renegotiation with clients which do not yet
support the new secure renegotiation protocol, RFC 5746.
[Joe Orton, and with thanks to the OpenSSL Team]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_ssl: A partial fix for the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack
by rejecting any client-initiated renegotiations. Forcibly disable
keepalive for the connection if there is any buffered data readable. Any
configuration which requires renegotiation for per-directory/location
access control is still vulnerable, unless using OpenSSL >= 0.9.8l.
[Joe Orton, Ruediger Pluem, Hartmut Keil <Hartmut.Keil adnovum.ch>]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0408 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_proxy_ajp: Respond with HTTP_BAD_REQUEST when the body is not sent
when request headers indicate a request body is incoming; not a case of
HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR. [Niku Toivola <niku.toivola sulake.com>]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0425 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_isapi: Do not unload an isapi .dll module until the request
processing is completed, avoiding orphaned callback pointers.
[Brett Gervasoni <brettg senseofsecurity.com>, Jeff Trawick]
*) ab: fix number of requests sent by ab when keepalive is enabled. PR 48497.
[Bryn Dole <dole blekko.com>]
Eric Covener
committed
*) Log an error for failures to read a chunk-size, and return 408 instead of
413 when this is due to a read timeout. This change also fixes some cases
of two error documents being sent in the response for the same scenario.
[Eric Covener] PR49167
*) mod_proxy_balancer: Add new directive BalancerNonce to allow admin
to control/set the nonce used in the balancer-manager application.
[Jim Jagielski]
*) mod_proxy_connect: Support port ranges in AllowConnect. PR 23673.
[Stefan Fritsch]
*) Proxy balancer: support setting error status according to HTTP response
code from a backend. PR 48939. [Daniel Ruggeri <DRuggeri primary.net>]
*) htcacheclean: Introduce the ability to clean specific URLs from the
cache, if provided as an optional parameter on the command line.
[Graham Leggett]
*) core: Introduce the IncludeStrict directive, which explicitly fails
server startup if no files or directories match a wildcard path.
[Graham Leggett]
*) htcacheclean: Report additional statistics about entries deleted.
PR 48944. [Mark Drayton mark markdrayton.info]
*) Introduce SSLFIPS directive to support OpenSSL FIPS_mode; permits all
builds of mod_ssl to use 'SSLFIPS off' for portability, but the proper
build of openssl is required for 'SSLFIPS on'. PR 46270.
[Dr Stephen Henson <steve openssl.org>, William Rowe]
*) mod_proxy_http: Log the port of the remote server in various messages.
PR 48812. [Igor Galić <i galic brainsware org>]
*) mod_reqtimeout: Do not wrongly enforce timeouts for mod_proxy's backend
connections and other protocol handlers (like mod_ftp). [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_proxy_ajp: Really regard the operation a success, when the client
aborted the connection. In addition adjust the log message if the client
aborted the connection. [Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_ssl: Add the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive, which
allows insecure renegotiation with clients which do not yet
support the secure renegotiation protocol. [Joe Orton]
*) mod_ssl: Fix a potential I/O hang if a long list of trusted CAs
is configured for client cert auth. PR 46952. [Joe Orton]
*) core: Only log a 408 if it is no keepalive timeout. PR 39785
[Ruediger Pluem, Mark Montague <markmont umich.edu>]
*) support/rotatelogs: Add -L option to create a link to the current
log file. PR 48761 [<lyndon orthanc.ca>, Dan Poirier]

*) mod_ldap: Update LDAPTrustedClientCert to consistently be a per-directory
setting only, matching most of the documentation and examples.
PR 46541 [Paul Reder, Eric Covener]
*) mod_ldap: LDAPTrustedClientCert now accepts CA_DER/CA_BASE64 argument
types previously allowed only in LDAPTrustedGlobalCert. [Eric Covener]
*) mod_negotiation: Preserve query string over multiviews negotiation.
This buglet was fixed for type maps in 2.2.6, but the same issue
affected multiviews and was overlooked.

before not after going into a catch-all code path.
PR 41646. [Nick Kew, Stuart Children]

*) support/rotatelogs: Support the simplest log rotation case, log
truncation. Useful when the log is being processed in real time
using a command like tail. [Graham Leggett]
*) support/htcacheclean: Teach it how to write a pid file (modelled on
httpd's writing of a pid file) so that it becomes possible to run
more than one instance of htcacheclean on the same machine.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Log command line on startup, so there's a record of command line
arguments like -f. PR 48752. [Dan Poirier]
*) Introduce mod_reflector, a handler capable of reflecting POSTed
request bodies back within the response through the output filter
stack. Can be used to turn an output filter into a web service.
[Graham Leggett]
*) mod_proxy_http: Make sure that when an ErrorDocument is served
from a reverse proxied URL, that the subrequest respects the status
of the original request. This brings the behaviour of proxy_handler
in line with default_handler. PR 47106. [Graham Leggett]
*) Support wildcards in both the directory and file components of
the path specified by the Include directive. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_proxy, mod_proxy_http: Support remote https proxies
by using HTTP CONNECT. PR 19188.

*) apxs: Fix -A and -a options to ignore whitespace in httpd.conf
[Philip M. Gollucci]
*) worker: Don't report server has reached MaxClients until it has.
Add message when server gets within MinSpareThreads of MaxClients.
PR 46996. [Dan Poirier]
*) mod_session: Session expiry was being initialised, but not updated
on each session save, resulting in timed out sessions when there
should not have been. Fixed. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_log_config: Add the R option to log the handler used within the
request. [Christian Folini <christian.folini netnea com>]
*) mod_include: Allow fine control over the removal of Last-Modified and
ETag headers within the INCLUDES filter, making it possible to cache
responses if desired. Fix the default value of the SSIAccessEnable
directive. [Graham Leggett]
*) Add new UnDefine directive to undefine a variable. PR 35350.
[Stefan Fritsch]
*) Make ap_pregsub(), used by AliasMatch and friends, use the same syntax
for regex backreferences as mod_rewrite and mod_include: Remove the use
of '&' as an alias for '$0' and allow to escape any character with a
backslash. PR 48351. [Stefan Fritsch]

password to UTF-8. PR 45318.
[Johannes Müller <joh_m gmx.de>, Stefan Fritsch]
*) ab: Fix calculation of requests per second in HTML output. PR 48594.
[Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_authnz_ldap: Failures to map a username to a DN, or to check a user
password now result in an informational level log entry instead of
warning level. [Eric Covener]
*) SECURITY: CVE-2010-0434 (cve.mitre.org)
Ensure each subrequest has a shallow copy of headers_in so that the
parent request headers are not corrupted. Eliminates a problematic
optimization in the case of no request body. PR 48359
[Jake Scott, William Rowe, Ruediger Pluem]
*) Turn static function get_server_name_for_url() into public
ap_get_server_name_for_url() and use it where appropriate. This
fixes mod_rewrite generating invalid URLs for redirects to IPv6
literal addresses. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_ldap: Introduce new config option LDAPTimeout to set the timeout
for LDAP operations like bind and search. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_proxy, mod_proxy_ftp: Move ProxyFtpDirCharset from mod_proxy to
mod_proxy_ftp. [Takashi Sato]

mod_proxy_connect. [Takashi Sato]

Keepalive here led to data from clients continuing being treated as
a new request.

respected; set DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR instead. [Jeff Trawick]
