1.52.2. RHBA-2011:0480: httpd bug fix update

Updated httpd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Apache HTTP Server is a popular web server.

This update fixes the following bug:

* When the mod_proxy module was configured as a reverse proxy using HTTP over SSL/TLS to a back-end server, data from the back end could be incorrectly truncated. This update applies a backported patch that resolves this issue, and using a reverse proxy with HTTP over SSL/TLS no longer causes the Apache HTTP Server to serve corrupted data. (BZ#694158)

All users of httpd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
