Anonymous Reader writes “”For us this was just a regular release, nothing reactionary about it,” Sander Striker, a director of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), told internetnews.com. “Of course we do take security issues into account, but . . . we would have had a release anyway.”
The Apache 2.0.49 change log notes a large number of bug fixes and security enhancements. In particular this release fixes three previously identified security vulnerabilities on certain platforms. CAN-2004-0174, which may allow a DoS attack (define); CAN-2003-0020, which is a potential terminal emulator vulnerability; and CAN-2004-0113, which is a potential “mod_ssl” memory leak exploit that could permit a DoS attack.”
