Created attachment 762157 [details]
configuration file with error corrected on line 17

In the wordpress-apache package made at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:php:applications/wordpress ,
there's a typo which might or might not affect security depending on how
apache2 parses the configuration file:
/etc/apache2/conf.d/wordpress.conf

On row 17 there's a missing " before the ending >

The purpose of this part of the config-file is to stop users from uploading
.php files which can be used to run custom PHP scripts on servers, potentially
with a malicious purpose.

This potentially affects all versions of Leap, Tumbleweed, and OpenSUSE
backports to SUSE.

I haven't checked if this affects security in the default apache2 shipped with
Leap 42.3, but anyway it should get fixed as it might cause a parsing error on
some version of apache2 now or in the future which might affect security on
servers running WordPress on Apache2.

The file containing the error:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/applications/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/noarch/wordpress-apache-4.9.4-1.1.noarch.rpm

I add a correct wordpress.conf as attachment
