CVE-2009-2699 - Solaris port fix

Since there is no specific reference to the fix for CVE-2009-2699 in the
APR change history or elsewhere, can someone (hello Jeff) confirm that
the patch referenced here:

 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47645#c13

is a sufficient fix for the vulnerability?

Regards, Joe

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=24161 is okay for
applying to older levels.

The code changes in APR 1.3.9 were different, however.

As far as referencing CVE-2009-2699: That was an httpd vulnerability.
Should it be referenced in the APR CHANGES file?

FWIW, I have a interposer library to LD_PRELOAD that I've given to a
number of people to resolve this problem.  It is available upon
request.
