Original advisory details:

 module incorrectly handled threads. A remote attacker with valid

 another username, bypassing access control restrictions.

 Alex Nichols and Jakob Hirsch discovered that the Apache HTTP Server
 mod_authnz_ldap module incorrectly handled missing charset encoding
 headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the
 server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-15710)

 Robert Swiecki discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly
 handled certain requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this
 issue to cause the server to crash, leading to a denial of service.

 Nicolas Daniels discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly
 generated the nonce when creating HTTP Digest authentication
 challenges. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to replay
 HTTP requests across a cluster of servers.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 ESM:
