Sourcewise the debdiffs looks good to me. But no I'm not really familar with the source package. Were the changes sucessfully as well tested in some (production) environment? To already look ahead: If I see it correctly, wheezy and jessie share the same original source, so https://wiki.debian.org/DebianSecurity/AdvisoryCreation/SecFull#Stable_and_oldstable_sharing_the_same_upstream_tarball will aply, so when we then go ahead, the first upload need to be build with -sa, wait to have it accepted on security-master side, and then upload the second without including the original source (otherwise there are problems when pushing the package to ftp-master from security-master). > It was discovered that a JkUnmount rule for a subtree of a previous > JkMount rule could be ignored.

Please add here a introductory description of libapache-mod-jk. E.g. "An information disclosure flaw was found in mod_jk, the Tomcat Connector module for Apache. [...]" (or any improvement to this).
