apache security

Hello. I think nobody had send this warnig to the list. Sorry if you already nows. This text is from the apache web: SECURITY ADVISORY Versions of the Apache web server up to and including 1.3.24 and 2.0 up to and including 2.0.36 contain a bug in the routines which deal with invalid requests which are encoded using chunked encoding. This bug can be triggered remotely by sending a carefully crafted invalid request. This functionality is enabled by default. In most cases the outcome of the invalid request is that the child process dealing with the request will terminate. At the least, this could help a remote attacker launch a denial of service attack as the parent process will eventually have to replace the terminated child process, and starting new children uses non-trivial amounts of resources. We were also notified today by ISS that they had published the same issue which has forced the early release of this advisory. Please note that the patch provided by ISS does not correct this vulnerability. The Apache Software Foundation has released versions 1.3.26 and 2.0.39 to address and fix this issue. These version are available for download; see below. Josep R. Raurell
