Synopsis
=======
A memory leak in mod_ssl allows a remote denial of service attack

was found when arbitrary client-supplied strings can be written to the
error log, allowing the exploit of certain terminal emulators. A third
flaw exists with the mod_disk_cache module.

open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems. The goal of this
