Fixed In Version: httpd-2.2.15-17.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: mod_ssl presumed the private key is set after the certificate in SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile. Consequence: httpd crashed if the private key had been set before the certificate in SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile. Fix: mod_ssl was fixed to check if the private key was set before the certificate. Result: mod_ssl does not crash in this situation and prints error message instead.
