Changes with Apache 2.4.37
*) mod_ssl: Fix HTTP/2 failures when using OpenSSL 1.1.1. [Rainer Jung]
*) mod_ssl: Fix crash during SSL renegotiation with OptRenegotiate set,

when client certificates are available from the original handshake
but were originally not verified and should get verified now.
This is a regression in 2.4.36 (unreleased). [Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_ssl: Correctly merge configurations that have client certificates set

by SSLProxyMachineCertificate{File|Path}. [Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_brotli, mod_deflate: Restore the separate handling of 304 Not Modified

responses. Regression introduced in 2.4.35.
*) mod_proxy_scgi, mod_proxy_uwsgi: improve error handling when sending the

body of the response. [Jim Jagielski]
*) mod_http2: adding defensive code for stream EOS handling, in case the request
handler
missed to signal it the normal way (eos buckets). Addresses github issues
https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/164,
https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/167
and https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/issues/170. [Stefan Eissing]

before signals handling to avoid lifetime issues on restart or shutdown.
PR 62658. [Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_ssl: Add support for OpenSSL 1.1.1 and TLSv1.3. TLSv1.3 has
behavioural changes compared to v1.2 and earlier; client and
configuration changes should be expected. SSLCipherSuite is
enhanced for TLSv1.3 ciphers, but applies at vhost level only.
[Stefan Eissing, Yann Ylavic, Ruediger Pluem, Joe Orton]

*) http: Enforce consistently no response body with both 204 and 304
statuses. [Yann Ylavic]

PR 62480. [Lubos Uhliarik <luhliari redhat.com>}
*) logging: Some early logging-related startup messages could be lost

when using syslog for the global ErrorLog. [Eric Covener]

[Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]
*) core: In ONE_PROCESS/debug mode, cleanup everything when exiting.

[Yann Ylavic]
*) mod_proxy_balancer: Add hot spare member type and corresponding flag (R).
Hot spare members are used as drop-in replacements for unusable workers

apr_sockaddr_info_get instead of failing on first one when not available.
Needed for instance if localhost resolves to both ::1 and 127.0.0.1
e.g. if both are in /etc/hosts. [Jan Kaluza]

are configured (ListenCoresBucketsRatio > 0), consistently with the single
bucket case (default), thus avoiding the leak of the corresponding socket
descriptors on graceful restart. [Yann Ylavic]

when available. PR 57399. [Yann Ylavic, Luca Toscano]
*) mod_proxy_wstunnel: Fix detection of unresponded request which could have

mod_http2: Read after free. When under stress, closing many connections,
the HTTP/2 handling code would sometimes access memory after it has been
freed, resulting in potentially erratic behaviour.
[Stefan Eissing]

mod_auth_digest: Uninitialized memory reflection. The value placeholder
in [Proxy-]Authorization headers type 'Digest' was not initialized or
reset before or between successive key=value assignments.
[William Rowe]
*) COMPATIBILITY: mod_lua: Remove the undocumented exported 'apr_table'

PR 61207. [Christophe Jaillet]

mod_mime can read one byte past the end of a buffer when sending a
malicious Content-Type response header. [Yann Ylavic]

The HTTP strict parsing changes added in 2.2.32 and 2.4.24 introduced a
bug in token list parsing, which allows ap_find_token() to search past
the end of its input string. By maliciously crafting a sequence of
request headers, an attacker may be able to cause a segmentation fault,
or to force ap_find_token() to return an incorrect value.
[Jacob Champion]

A maliciously constructed HTTP/2 request could cause mod_http2 to
dereference a NULL pointer and crash the server process.

mod_ssl may dereference a NULL pointer when third-party modules call
ap_hook_process_connection() during an HTTP request to an HTTPS port.
[Yann Ylavic]

Use of the ap_get_basic_auth_pw() by third-party modules outside of the
authentication phase may lead to authentication requirements being
bypassed.

protocols. [Jean-Frederic Clere]
*) MPMs unix: Place signals handlers and helpers out of DSOs to avoid
a possible crash if a signal is caught during (graceful) restart.
*) mod_rewrite: When a substitution is a fully qualified URL, and the

scheme/host/port matches the current virtual host, stop interpreting the
path component as a local path just because the first component of the
path exists in the filesystem. Adds RewriteOption "LegacyPrefixDocRoot"
to revert to previous behavior. PR60009.
*) core: ap_parse_form_data() URL-decoding doesn't work on EBCDIC

platforms. PR61124. [Hank Ibell <hwibell gmail.com>]

throughput. Requires nghttp2 >= v1.5.0 features. Announced at startup
in mod_http2 INFO log as feature 'DWINS'. [Stefan Eissing]
*) mod_http2: h2 workers with improved scalability for better scheduling

performance. There are H2MaxWorkers threads created at start and the

trigger pushes accordingly. 304 still does prevent pushes.

AuthzDBDRedirectQuery, do not report authorization failure, and use
first row returned by database query instead of last row.

*) Activate mod_cache, mod_file_cache and mod_disk_cache as part of the
'most' set for '--enable-modules' and '--enable-shared-mods'. Include
mod_mem_cache in 'all' as well. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik]
*) Also install mod_so.h, mod_rewrite.h and mod_cache.h; as these

contain public function declarations which are useful for
third party module authors. PR 42431 [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
*) mod_dir, mod_negotiation: pass the output filter information

to newly created sub requests; as these are later on used
as true requests with an internal redirect. This allows for
mod_cache et.al. to trap the results of the redirect.
[Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_ldap: Add support (taking advantage of the new APR capability)

for ldap rebind callback while chasing referrals. This allows direct
searches on LDAP servers (in particular MS Active Directory 2003+)
using referrals without the use of the global catalog.
PRs 26538, 40268, and 42557 [Paul J. Reder]

*) core: Add the option to keep aside a request body up to a certain

size that would otherwise be discarded, to be consumed by filters
such as mod_include. When enabled for a directory, POST requests
to shtml files can be passed through to embedded scripts as POST
requests, rather being downgraded to GET requests. [Graham Leggett]

AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]
*) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select

into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string

value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]
*) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets

*) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and

open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
appropriate. [Chris Darroch]
*) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir

SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]
*) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]

configures the I/O Dump of SSL traffic, when LogLevel is set to Debug.

authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'

into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
support for these directives.
[Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the

authorization provider vector and contains common authz
directives. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and

'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Added the new authz providers 'env', 'ip', 'host', 'all' to handle
host-based access control provided by mod_authz_host and invoked
through the 'Require' directive. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Convert all of the authz modules from hook based to

provider based. [Brad Nicholes]
*) mod_cache: Add CacheMinExpire directive to set the minimum time in
seconds to cache a document.

*) Fix typo in ProxyStatus syntax error message.

[Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet wanadoo.fr>]
*) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
*) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and

the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
*) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported

and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
*) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
*) Added new connection states for handler and write completion

[Brian Pane]
*) mod_cgid: Refuse to work on Solaris 10 due to OS bugs. PR 34264.

[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Teach mod_ssl to use arbitrary OIDs in an SSLRequire directive,

allowing string-valued client certificate attributes to be used for
access control, as in: SSLRequire "value" in OID("1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.1")
