The Apache HTTP Server is a popular web server.

A flaw was found in the way the mod_dav module of the Apache HTTP Server
handled merge requests. An attacker could use this flaw to send a crafted
merge request that contains URIs that are not configured for DAV, causing
the httpd child process to crash. (CVE-2013-1896)

All httpd users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated
packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted automatically.
