3 Changes with Apache 2.3.6
5 *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
6 mod_ssl: Comprehensive fix of the TLS renegotiation prefix injection
7 attack when compiled against OpenSSL version 0.9.8m or later. Introduces
8 the 'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' directive to reopen this vulnerability
9 and offer unsafe legacy renegotiation with clients which do not yet
10 support the new secure renegotiation protocol, RFC 5746.
11 [Joe Orton, and with thanks to the OpenSSL Team]
13 *) SECURITY: CVE-2009-3555 (cve.mitre.org)
14 mod_ssl: A partial fix for the TLS renegotiation prefix injection attack
15 by rejecting any client-initiated renegotiations. Forcibly disable
16 keepalive for the connection if there is any buffered data readable. Any
17 configuration which requires renegotiation for per-directory/location
18 access control is still vulnerable, unless using OpenSSL >= 0.9.8l.

148 arguments like -f. PR 48752. [Dan Poirier]
150 *) Introduce mod_reflector, a handler capable of reflecting POSTed
151 request bodies back within the response through the output filter
152 stack. Can be used to turn an output filter into a web service.
155 *) mod_proxy_http: Make sure that when an ErrorDocument is served
156 from a reverse proxied URL, that the subrequest respects the status
157 of the original request. This brings the behaviour of proxy_handler
158 in line with default_handler. PR 47106. [Graham Leggett]

179 request. [Christian Folini <christian.folini netnea com>]

1120 the typical administrator is prepared to untangle. [William Rowe]
1122 *) mod_disk_cache: If possible, check if the size of an object to cache is
1123 within the configured boundaries before actually saving data.
1124 [Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
1126 *) mod_disk_cache: Delete temporary files if they cannot be renamed to their
1127 final name. [Davi Arnaut <davi haxent.com.br>]
1129 *) Worker and event MPMs: Remove improper scoreboard updates which were
1130 performed in the event of a fork() failure. [Chris Darroch]
1132 *) Add support for fcgi:// proxies to mod_rewrite.
1133 [Markus Schiegl <ms schiegl.com>]
1135 *) Remove incorrect comments from scoreboard.h regarding conditional
1136 loading of worker_score structure with mod_status, and remove unused
1137 definitions relating to old life_status field.
1138 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
1140 *) Remove allocation of memory for unused array of lb_score pointers
1141 in ap_init_scoreboard(). [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
1143 *) Add mod_proxy_fcgi, a FastCGI back end for mod_proxy.
1144 [Garrett Rooney, Jim Jagielski, Paul Querna]
1146 *) Event MPM: Fill in the scoreboard's tid field. PR 38736.
1147 [Chris Darroch <chrisd pearsoncmg.com>]
1149 *) mod_charset_lite: Remove Content-Length when output filter can
1150 invalidate it. Warn when input filter can invalidate it.
1153 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
1154 authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
1155 'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
1156 into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
1158 *) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
1159 into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
1160 support for these directives.
1163 *) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
1164 add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
1165 and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
1166 logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
1168 *) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
1169 authorization provider vector and contains common authz
1170 directives. [Brad Nicholes]
1172 *) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
1173 'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
1175 *) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
1176 host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
1177 through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
1179 *) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to
1180 provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
1182 *) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
1183 seconds to cache a document.
1184 [Brian Akins <brian.akins turner.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
1186 *) mod_authz_dbd: SQL authz with Login/Session support [Nick Kew]
1188 *) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.
1189 [Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
1191 *) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
1193 *) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
1194 the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
1195 This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
1196 of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
1197 indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
1199 *) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
1200 and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
1202 *) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
1204 *) Added new connection states for handler and write completion
1207 *) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.
1210 *) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,
1211 allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
1212 access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
