DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apache HTTP Server, which
can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially
sensitive information and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error when handling the "%{cookiename}C" log format string when
using a threaded MPM can be exploited to cause a crash by sending a
specially crafted cookie.

This vulnerability is reported in versions 2.2.17, 2.2.18, 2.219,
2.2.20, and 2.2.21.

2) An error within the default error response for status code 400
when no custom ErrorDocument is configured can be exploited to expose
"httpOnly" cookies.

This vulnerability is reported in versions 2.2.0, 2.2.2, 2.2.3,
2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.8, 2.2.9, 2.2.10, 2.2.11, 2.2.12, 2.2.13,
2.2.14, 2.2.15, 2.2.16, 2.2.17, 2.2.18, 2.2.19, 2.2.20, and 2.2.21.
