Description

This update fixes a remote denial of service bug (memory exhaustion) in the Apache 2 HTTP server, that could be triggered by remote attackers using multiple overlapping Request Ranges. (CVE-2011-3192)

Also following bugs were fixed :

- recommend the default MPM (prefork) via Recommends: in .spec

- apache not sending error 304 if mod_deflate is enabled.
