The fix for CVE-2009-1891 that is included in upstream's 2.2.12 release
causes segfaults when using mod_deflate.
*** /tmp/tmpajcHE_
In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:
* debian/patches/203_fix_legacy_ap_rputs_segfaults.dpatch:
- Fix potential segfaults with the use of the legacy ap_rputs() etc
interfaces, in cases where an output filter fails. This happens
frequently after CVE-2009-1891 got fixed. (LP: #409987)
We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
