Apache 2.0.40 Released

Posted by michael on from the apt-get dept.

cliffwoolley writes "On August 7, the Apache Software Foundation was notified of a significant vulnerability that affects the Win32, OS/2, and Netware ports of Apache 2.0. It has the potential to allow an attacker to inflict serious damage to a server and/or reveal sensitive data on those platforms. To fix this vulnerability in addition to a number of cross-platform issues (a pair of path exposures and a number of bugs), Apache 2.0.40 has been released. It is considered the best currently available version of Apache, and all users are urged to upgrade."

    I'd upgrade if I could reliably run Slashcode under that.

    Well then stop fucking whinging and go submit useful bug reports so they can fix it for you.

    Or - and here's a thought - go fix it yourself. 'Open source' and all that.
