Upgrade apache/httpd to version 2.4.10 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. Memory leak in the winnt_accept function in server/mpm/winnt/child.c in the WinNT MPM in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x before 2.4.10 on Windows, when the default AcceptFilter is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted requests.
