Fedora EPEL 5 Security Update: Pound-2.6-2.el5.2

This is a rebase to 2.6 with a couple of fixes applied to address security fixes.
Note they usually are extra options that need
to be enabled manually so that we won’t break functionality:
– CVE-2011-3389: Make it possible to deny use of “BEAST” vulnerable ciphers
– CVE-2012-4929: Disable compression to be safe from “CRIME”
– CVE-2005-2090: Chunked encofing response splitting (no awkward name here)
– CVE-2014-3566: Allow disabling SSLv3 (and others), to be safe from “POODLE”
– A redirect XSS fix
Backporting the fixes to 2.4 looked like a difficult task.
Please test thoroughly and downkarma the update if it is unacceptable for you.
