the Apache update has nothing whatsoever to do with issues presented by the (now defunct) DigiNotar Certificate Authority.

That would be handled by updates to browser applications and/or OS Root Certificate store (ca-certificates) which is significant if you have users on the system but again, this all has nothing to do with security updates released for apache (httpd)
