18 *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
19 mod_ssl: Comprehensive fix of the TLS renegotiation prefix injection
20 attack when compiled against OpenSSL version 0.9.8m or later. Introduces
21 the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive to reopen this vulnerability
22 and offer unsafe legacy renegotiation with clients which do not yet
23 support the new secure renegotiation protocol, RFC 5746.
24 [Joe Orton, and with thanks to the OpenSSL Team]
26 *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
27 mod_ssl: A partial fix for the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack
28 by rejecting any client-initiated renegotiations. Forcibly disable
29 keepalive for the connection if there is any buffered data readable. Any
30 configuration which requires renegotiation for per-directory/location
31 access control is still vulnerable, unless using OpenSSL >= 0.9.8l.

52 *) mod_cache: Explicitly allow cache implementations to cache a 206 Partial
53 Response if they so choose to do so. Previously an attempt to cache a 206
54 was arbitrarily allowed if the response contained an Expires or
55 Cache-Control header, and arbitrarily denied if both headers were missing.

88 title page only) when any mod_ldap directives were used in VirtualHost
89 context. [Eric Covener]
91 *) mod_disk_cache: Decline the opportunity to cache if the response is
92 a 206 Partial Content. This stops a reverse proxied partial response
93 from becoming cached, and then being served in subsequent responses.

185 types previously allowed only in LDAPTrustedGlobalCert. [Eric Covener]

188 This buglet was fixed for type maps in 2.2.6, but the same issue
189 affected multiviews and was overlooked.

1127 the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe]
1129 *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is
1130 within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.
1131 [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
1133 *) Worker and event MPMs: Remove improper scoreboard updates which were
1134 performed in the event of a fork() failure. [Chris Darroch]
1136 *) Add support for fcgi:// proxies to mod_rewrite.
1137 [Markus Schiegl <ms schiegl.com>]
1139 *) Remove incorrect comments from scoreboard.h regarding conditional
1140 loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
1141 definitions relating to old life_status field.
1142 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
1144 *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers
1145 in ap_init_scoreboard(). [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
1147 *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.
1148 [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna]
1150 *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
1151 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
1153 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
1154 invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
1157 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
1158 authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
1159 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
1160 into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
1162 *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
1163 into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
1164 support for these directives.
1167 *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
1168 add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
1169 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
1170 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
1172 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
1173 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
1174 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
1176 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
1177 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
1179 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
1180 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
1181 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
1183 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
1184 provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
1186 *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
1187 seconds to cache a document.
1188 [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
1190 *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]
1192 *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
1193 [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
1195 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
1197 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
1198 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
1199 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
1200 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
1201 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
1203 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
1204 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
1206 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
1208 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
1211 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
1214 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
1215 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
1216 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
