Apache 2.0.45 Released

Posted by michael on from the better-than-okra dept.

thx2001r writes "Well, it's no longer April 1st across the contiguous United States, so the coast is clear to say Apache 2.0.45 is released. This version contains two important security fixes and a number of bug fixes. The security fixes affect all platforms and versions of Apache 2.0.x up until this update with some special caveats for the 2.0.45 OS/2 release. It looks like the first security vulnerability addressed in this eighth public release of the Apache 2.0.x series is having its details witheld until April 8th. This is being called "a significant Denial of Service vulnerability" for Apache 2.0.x by the ASF."

  1. Soo... When can NT users use this? by Eneff · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I mean, when will SSL support be ported for Apache 2?

    Last time I tried to compile SSL support from scratch it was a nightmare of errors...

      Update: In Win32, the compiled 2.0.44 mod_ssl.so (DSO) works just fine with the Apache Group 2.0.45 MSI installer package. Just add the DSO, your conf file(s), OpenSSL keys, and you're good to go!

      Looks like the API is actually remaining stable (as advertised) at least in Win32, in mod_ssl! Way to go Apache Group!!!

  2. PHP4 with Apache2? by shagymoe · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone know if it is safe to stick my php4 toe in the Apache2 water? I've heard some bad stories about php4 with Apache2 so I'm sticking with 1.3.27 right now with php4.3.1.
