A reader writes:"On NewsForge, there is an interview with a system administrator looking for an officially supported FrontPage install for RedHat Linux Apache rpm to fix CERT Advisory CA-2002-17 , which has already found in the wild. According to the interview Microsoft may, at some point, release an official patch or upgrade which Apache, RedHat and others fixed long ago."

  1. "Microsoft" on front page, "Apache" isn't... by stefanlasiewski · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Anyone else think it's odd that this article is on the front page, but the Article describing the bug was hidden under the "Apache" section, which is not turned on by default (and thus not read by most Slashdot users?

    Anyone sense anti-Microsoft bias here? This exploit is a MAJOR problem, you can't turn a blind eye to it and expect the problem to go away.

    Fire away...

    (For the record, I love Apache, and manage it daily).
