https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-538
Description:
Previous versions of the httpd package contain a vulnerability in
the mod_rewrite module. In some configurations, this vulnerability
provides a remote attacker an opportunity to run arbitrary code as
the httpd user. The default configuration of the httpd package
is not not vulnerable to this attack because it does not provide
any mod_rewrite rules that would enable the vulnerability.
