Changelog:

CVE-2014-0098 (cve.mitre.org)
 Segfaults with truncated cookie logging.
 mod_log_config: Prevent segfaults when logging truncated
 cookies. Clean up the cookie logging parser to recognize
 only the cookie=value pairs, not valueless cookies.

CVE-2013-6438 (cve.mitre.org)
 mod_dav: Keep track of length of cdata properly when removing
 leading spaces. Eliminates a potential denial of service from
 specifically crafted DAV WRITE requests

Patrick, do you know if those vulnerabilities affect 2.2.x too?
Comment 4 Sergey Popov gentoo-dev 2014-04-28 12:57:39 UTC
Reopening, as according to RHSA about those CVEs[1], 2.2 branch is also vulnerable

Comment 5 Yury German Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2014-08-26 14:26:01 UTC
These two CVE's are fixed in the 2.2 branch in 2.2.27, which is currently stable. 

Adding to an existing GLSA request.

CVE-2014-0098 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0098):
  The log_cookie function in mod_log_config.c in the mod_log_config module in
  the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.8 allows remote attackers to cause a
  denial of service (segmentation fault and daemon crash) via a crafted cookie
  that is not properly handled during truncation.
Comment 7 GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2014-08-26 14:52:12 UTC
CVE-2013-6438 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-6438):
  The dav_xml_get_cdata function in main/util.c in the mod_dav module in the
  Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.8 does not properly remove whitespace
  characters from CDATA sections, which allows remote attackers to cause a
  denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted DAV WRITE request.
