Apache 2.0.44 Released

Posted by chrisd on from the apache-even-more-ready dept.

rbowen writes "The Apache Software Foundation is pleased to announce the release of Apache 2.0.44, which addresses a number of security issues. Download it from your favorite mirror." Rich notes that it fixes some important security problems (under Windows) for the Windows version. Also interesting is that now there truly is a split between a development and regular releases, adopting the Linux kernel model, with 2.1 being the dev Apache tree and 2.0 being the release tree.

    how do we know it wasnt trojaned via that CVS exploit?

    Same goes for the linux kernel and openssh as well.

  3. Linux CVS? Bitkeeper by MrBlack · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hasn't one of the recent controversies on /. been that the Linux kernel does not use Open Source tools (like CVS) for version control, but rather uses BitKeeper instead?

    I suppose it's technically possible.

    If for some reason you were to run the Windows version under wine or something and doing so opened some mysterious security hole... who knows?

    I'm so proud of my penis comment. The sad thing is I don't get as many replies when I write something legit.

    I followed your link and kept looking for an IIS download. I followed several links and still could not find an IIS download. I also could not find a download for NT server so I don't know why it's called the NT server download page.

    So where is the IIS download and how do I make sure it hasn't been messed with.
