[ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache HTTP Server 2.4.3 Released
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.3 Released
The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project
are pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.3 of the Apache
HTTP Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is our 3rd GA
release of the new generation 2.4.x branch of Apache HTTPD and
represents fifteen years of innovation by the project, and is
recommended over all previous releases. This version of Apache is
principally a security and bug fix release, including the following
2 security fixes:
*) SECURITY: CVE-2012-3502 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_proxy_ajp, mod_proxy_http: Fix an issue in back end
connection closing which could lead to privacy issues due
to a response mixup. PR 53727.
*) SECURITY: CVE-2012-2687 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_negotiation: Escape filenames in variant list to prevent an
possible XSS for a site where untrusted users can upload files to
a location with MultiViews enabled.
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.3 is available for download from:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Apache 2.4 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
boosts over the 2.2 codebase. For an overview of new features
introduced since 2.4 please see:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html
Please see the CHANGES_2.4 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.4.3 includes only
those changes introduced since the prior 2.4 release. A summary of all
of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases
is available:
http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html
This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.x
and APR-Util version 1.4.x. The APR libraries must be upgraded for all
features of httpd to operate correctly.
This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API. Modules written
for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
2.4, and require minimal or no source code changes.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/VERSIONING
When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind
that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other
than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be
using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.
NOTE to Windows users: The issues with AcceptFilter None replacing
Win32DisableAcceptEx appears to have resolved starting with version
2.4.3 make Apache httpd 2.4.x suitable for Windows servers.
