** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and
+ 
+  * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release.
+ 
+  * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
+    explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug
+ 
+  * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
+    package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes
+    the problem.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result
+ of this change.
+ 
+  * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
+    upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
+    to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
+    event of a regression.
+ 
+  * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
+    and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * Anything else you think is useful to include
+  * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and 
the Technical Board
+  * and address these questions in advance
+ 
+ [Original Description]

  With latest apache 2.4.29-1ubuntu4.7 published to 18.04 LTS bionic, when
  running ssllabs.com/ssltest against it to verify the configuration it
  leaves 2 apache processes using 100% indefinitely.
  
  Downgrading to 2.4.29-1ubuntu4.6 make it not reproducible anymore.
  
  So far i do not know if it is easy/likely to hit this case in normal
  https usage or only triggered by that testing site.
  
  But given that this is backported to LTS and allows easy DoS maybe the
  4.7 should be backed out?
  
  So likely regression in the update to 4.7 having only single fix:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1833039
  
  Extra info observed when that ssltest is over but processes are still
  there using up cpu:
  
  /server-status shows both processes 25234,25235 here in 'Reading' state:
