Synopsis: Moderate: httpd security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1156-1
Issue Date: 2013-08-13
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-1896
--

A flaw was found in the way the mod_dav module of the Apache HTTP Server
handled merge requests. An attacker could use this flaw to send a crafted
merge request that contains URIs that are not configured for DAV, causing
the httpd child process to crash. (CVE-2013-1896)

After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted
automatically.
