 mod_authnz_ldap module incorrectly handled missing charset encoding

 handled certain requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this
 issue to cause the server to crash, leading to a denial of service.

 generated the nonce when creating HTTP Digest authentication
 challenges. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to replay
 HTTP requests across a cluster of servers.
