+--------------------------+
patches/packages/httpd-2.2.12-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes some security issues (from the CHANGES file):
   *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-1891 (cve.mitre.org)
    Fix a potential Denial-of-Service attack against mod_deflate or other
    modules, by forcing the server to consume CPU time in compressing a
    large file after a client disconnects.  PR 39605.
    [Joe Orton, Ruediger Pluem]
   *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-1195 (cve.mitre.org)
    Prevent the "Includes" Option from being enabled in an .htaccess
    file if the AllowOverride restrictions do not permit it.
    [Jonathan Peatfield <j.s.peatfield damtp.cam.ac.uk>, Joe Orton,
     Ruediger Pluem, Jeff Trawick]
   *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-1890 (cve.mitre.org)
    Fix a potential Denial-of-Service attack against mod_proxy in a
    reverse proxy configuration, where a remote attacker can force a
    proxy process to consume CPU time indefinitely.  [Nick Kew, Joe Orton]
   *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-1191 (cve.mitre.org)
    mod_proxy_ajp: Avoid delivering content from a previous request which
    failed to send a request body. PR 46949 [Ruediger Pluem]
   *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-0023, CVE-2009-1955, CVE-2009-1956 (cve.mitre.org)
    The bundled copy of the APR-util library has been updated, fixing three
    different security issues which may affect particular configurations
    and third-party modules.
  These last three CVEs were addressed in Slackware previously with an
  update to new system apr and apr-util packages.

for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)
