Upgrade apache/httpd to version 2.4.11 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The cache_merge_headers_out function in modules/cache/cache_util.c in the mod_cache module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an empty HTTP Content-Type header.
