I think it should be marked as Debian-specific.  Please, see removed
tag upstream for #683984.

Outside of the Debian an exploit is still be possible, for example,
due to some broken third-party stuff (ex. authz_host_module) using
garbage in r->connection->remote_ip, modified by this module.  It's a
potential problem, of course.
