+ * This release adds and enables mod_reqtimeout, which limits the time
+ Apache waits for a client to send a complete request. This helps to
+ mitigate against certain denial of service attacks. In case of problems
+ with slow clients, the timeout values can be adjusted in
+ /etc/apache2/mods-available/reqtimeout.conf , or the module can be
+ disabled with "a2dismod reqtimeout".

- CVE-2010-0434: mod_headers: Fix potential information leak with threaded
MPMs.
- - mod_ssl: Add SSLInsecureRenegotiation directive to allows insecure

- renegotiation protocol. As this requires openssl 0.9.8m, bump
- build dependency accordingly.
- mod_reqtimeout: New module limiting the time waiting for receiving
a request from the client. This is a (partial) mitigation against
slowloris-type resource exhaustion attacks. The module is enabled by
default. Closes: #533661
