Apache 2.2.17 fixes vulnerabilities

The Apache HTTP Server Project released version 2.2.17 that fixes three security vulnerabilities.

expat DoS
A buffer over-read flaw was found in the bundled expat library. An attacker who is able to get Apache to parse an untrused XML document (for example through mod_dav) may be able to cause a crash. This crash would only be a denial of service if using the worker MPM.

apr_bridage_split_line DoS
A flaw was found in the apr_brigade_split_line() function of the bundled APR-util library, used to process non-SSL requests. A remote attacker could send requests, carefully crafting the timing of individual bytes, which would slowly consume memory, potentially leading to a denial of service.
