*) SECURITY: CVE-2017-7668 (cve.mitre.org)
The HTTP strict parsing changes added in 2.2.32 and 2.4.24 introduced a
bug in token list parsing, which allows ap_find_token() to search past
the end of its input string. By maliciously crafting a sequence of
request headers, an attacker may be able to cause a segmentation fault,
or to force ap_find_token() to return an incorrect value.

A maliciously constructed HTTP/2 request could cause mod_http2 to
dereference a NULL pointer and crash the server process.

mod_ssl may dereference a NULL pointer when third-party modules call

Use of the ap_get_basic_auth_pw() by third-party modules outside of the
