Apache HTTP Server 2.2.17 and 2.0.64 Released


   The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
   pleased to announce the release of version 2.2.17 of the Apache HTTP
   Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is principally a bug fix
   release, and a security fix release of the APR-util 1.3.10 dependency;

     * SECURITY: CVE-2010-1623 (cve.mitre.org)
       Fix a denial of service attack against apr_brigade_split_line().

     * SECURITY: CVE-2009-3560, CVE-2009-3720 (cve.mitre.org)
       Fix two buffer over-read flaws in the bundled copy of expat which
       could cause httpd to crash while parsing specially-crafted
       XML documents.

   We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available, and
   encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.

   Apache HTTP Server 2.2.17 is available for download from:

     http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

   Apache HTTP Server 2.0.64 legacy release is also currently available,
   with the same vulnerability correction as well as many others fixed in
   2.2.16 and earlier releases.  See the corresponding CHANGES files linked
   from the download page.  The Apache HTTP Project developers strongly
   encourage all users to migrate to Apache 2.2, as only limited and less
   frequent maintenance is provided for legacy versions.

   Apache 2.2 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
   boosts over the 2.0 codebase.  For an overview of new features
