Fedora 28: 2019-1c8babf198 Moderate Risk: Mod_ssl Buffer Overflow

The mod_h2 Apache httpd module implements the HTTP2 protocol (h2+h2c) on

top of libnghttp2 for httpd 2.4 servers.

This update includes the latest upstream release of mod_http2, version 1.10.16.

This includes a security fix (CVE-2018-1302): When an HTTP/2 stream was

destroyed after being handled, mod_http2 could have written a NULL pointer

potentially to an already freed memory. The memory pools maintained by the

server make this vulnerabilty hard to trigger in usual configurations, the

reporter and the team could not reproduce it outside debug builds, so it is

classified as low risk.
