This version of Apache is our latest GA release of the new generation 2.4.x branch of Apache HTTPD and represents fifteen years of innovation by the project, and is recommended over all previous releases. This release of Apache is principally a security and bug fix release, including the following 2 security fixes: *) SECURITY: CVE-2013-1896 (cve.mitre.org) Sending a MERGE request against a URI handled by mod_dav_svn with the source href (sent as part of the request body as XML) pointing to a URI that is not configured for DAV will trigger a segfault. *) SECURITY: CVE-2013-2249 (cve.mitre.org) mod_session_dbd: Make sure that dirty flag is respected when saving sessions, and ensure the session ID is changed each time the session changes. This changes the format of the updatesession SQL statement. Existing configurations must be changed. Also in this release are some exciting new features including: *) Major updates to mod_lua *) Support for proxying websocket requests *) Higher performant shm-based cache implementation *) Addition of mod_macro for easier configuration management As well as several exciting fixes, especially those related to RFC edge cases in mod_cache and mod_proxy. NOTE: Apache httpd 2.4.5 was not released. We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade. Apache HTTP Server 2.4.6 is available for download from: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi Apache 2.4 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance boosts over the 2.2 codebase. For an overview of new features introduced since 2.4 please see: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html Please see the CHANGES_2.4 file, linked from the download page, for a full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.4.6 includes only those changes introduced since the prior 2.4 release. A summary of all of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases is available: http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.x and APR-Util version 1.4.x. The APR libraries must be upgraded for all features of httpd to operate correctly. This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API. Modules written for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache 2.4, and require minimal or no source code changes. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/VERSIONING When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe. - --------------------------END INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- You have received this e-mail bulletin as a result of your organisation's registration with AusCERT.
