Just thought I'd throw in patches already available.

SSLv2 issues, and BEAST attack mitigation, and client renegotiation issues:
1) My SSL Ciphers and Client Renegotiation patch: 
http://goochfriend.org/pound_2.6f_ssl_renegotiation_and_ciphers.patch

  Introduces the SSLHonorCipherOrder option (0 or 1) which will set the 
appropriate openssl option.  Allows for BEAST attack mitigation.
  Introduces the SSLAllowClientRenegotiation (0 1 or 2) option to control 
whether client renegotiations are disabled, allowed for secure only, allowed 
for insecure. A setting of 0 eliminates the thc-ssl-dos attack.

2) I think SSLv2 should be disabled by default (using the ssl option to disable 
it).  A config action could reenable it. (Apache's SSLProtocol or similar, 
maybe SSLEnableSSLv2 or something.)

3) The CSRF issue w/ invalid tags/et al in redirects... 
http://goochfriend.org/pound_2.6f_xss_redirect_fix.patch

   URL escapes the redirect_reply page so tags can't be injected.

Given the above are necessary to pass some compliance tests, and to lock down 
vulnerabilities, I'd push for those to be in 2.7, if they weren't already 
included in 2.6.
