[SRM] please review apache2 2.2.3-4+etch2



Hi,

please review apache2 2.2.3-4+etch2 for inclusion in etch r2. Here is the
annotated changelog:

> apache2 (2.2.3-4+etch2) stable; urgency=low
> 
>   * Security fixes:
>     - CVE-2006-5752: XSS in mod_status
>     - CVE-2007-1863: DoS in mod_cache
>     - CVE-2007-3304: parent process could be forced to kill other processes
Minor issues for which Moritz doesn't want to issue a DSA.

>   * Add /var/lock/apache2 owner fix to the init script, as /var/lock
>     may not persist across reboots.  (Closes: #420101)
Can break mod_dav in a quite non-obvious way if /var/lock is on a tmpfs.

>   * Fix regression breaking /etc/init.d/apache2 when /bin/sh is not bash
>     (Closes: #430386)
RC, introduced in 2.2.3-4+etch1

>   * Only allow group www-data to execute suexec (Closes: #431048)
More a security precaution than a security issue

>   * Display warning when NO_START=1 even with VERBOSE=no, to avoid
>     confusion (Closes: #430116)
Can break apache2 in a quite non-obvious way. (AFAIK VERBOSE=yes was the
default in sarge, see also #418499)

>   * Unbreak apache2-doc: Ship correct conf.d/apache2-doc and add note how
>     to read the docs in README.Debian (Closes: #285290)
apache2-doc is unusable without the config file (it cannot reasonably be
viewed directly with a browser).

>   * NEWS.Debian: Add warning about new 2.2 config file syntax and point to
>     upgrading howto.
Add some parts from the release notes to the package's documentation.

>   * Ship /usr/lib/cgi-bin (Closes: #415698)
RC, breaks sqwebmail's postinst.

> 
>  -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Mon, 27 Aug 2007 22:45:02 +0200
