What's the story on apache2
Hi, I received a security summery from suse (2005:008). It states that there is a vulnerability in apache2. After following the lead from the changelog of the updated suse-apache rpm i reached a bugreport at Apache. http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27945 The thing I don't get is if the apache child process crashes or if the entire server crashes. Could this issue be exploited to bring the entire apache down? Can someone who has had trouble with this issue explain symtoms like log-messages ? TIA Bone Machine --- "Hip hip hip" - The Pixies

Just a child process. It is a bug mostly, which was fixed in apache 2.0.50. Ciao, Marcus

And back-ported by the diligent people at SuSE and made available via YOU as the package "apache2-2.0.49-27.24.3" (at least that's the version suffix for those running SuSE 9.1).
