Bug description:
  The patches introduced for CVE-2021-40438 break existing configs.

  For example on Plesk:
  https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407366133906-Website-suddenly-started-to-show-500-error-AH10292-Invalid-proxy-UDS-filename

  Upstream pushed some additional fixes for it:
  https://github.com/apache/httpd/commit/6d476a66956a6a81ac8e1f7f419ef0697b9a0b76
  https://github.com/apache/httpd/commit/6d76cbb9100bf34250ffba0bded08e075380be88

  In Debian I guess they will be included also according to
  https://salsa.debian.org/apache-
  team/apache2/-/commit/e36582e866cd7e87600235ff9fcd47b960899e24

  So I think it might be good to include those 2 into Ubuntu as well.
