Hello,

I see two patches to apr and apr-util, ostensibly fixing this (CVE-2009-2412, 
and other) security issues, yet I see no patch to the apache-httpd makefile 
tagged with OPENBSD_4_5 (-stable).

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/devel/apr-util/Makefile?only_with_tag=OPENBSD_4_5
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/devel/apr/Makefile

After looking things over, it would seem that the -stable apache-httpd Makefile 
would need to have its dependencies changed to force the use of the mt 
(multithread) apr and apr-util library - 

I also observe that the -current fix for CVE-2009-2412, indeed does include a 
patch to the apache-httpd Makefile, to do just that - 

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/apache-httpd/Makefile


Am I missing something?

Is CVE-2009-2412 fixed in -stable or not?

Do I have to manually set the flavor (mt) and make apr and apr-util before 
making the apache-httpd port?

Is there another workaround or recommendation for this CVE-2009-2412 security 
issue?

Are apr and apr-util absolutely necessary to run Apache2, or can a minimalist 
version be run without it? (I would assume not, but I'm listening for ideas).


Thanks,
Joe
