Apache 2.0.46 Released

Posted by krow on from the as-seen-on-TV dept.

The Apache HTTP Server Project writes "Apache 2.0.46 has been released. It's an important security-fix release, fixing both a crash bug [CAN-2003-0245] and a DoS [CAN-2003-0189], so everybody using prior versions of Apache 2.0 should grab a copy from the nearest mirror and upgrade!"

    but do I still need to upgrade?


    Definitely upgrade. Note also that full details of the problem will be released on Friday.

    Well for one it gives people a chance to upgrade before the "bad guys" know the specifics of what the problem is. That way people can get their servers updated before a DoS attack program is written.
