Why isn't there an apache 1.3.19 update for SuSE 7.0? Isn't this "classified" as an security update/fix? at least is this what the apache release note says... as well as the 7.1 update page. I'm aware of the SuSE maintanace policy for older releases, but for gods sake I bougt 7.0 just a few months ago! and this was my 6th set of SuSE dist CD's and belive such important and widely used packet of the distribution should have a somewhat longer lifetime then a couple of months...? Thanks, Joakim Schramm
From 1.3.19 release notes: "Apache 1.3.19 Major changes The primary security fix is: The default installation could lead mod_negotiation and mod_dir or mod_autoindex to display a directory listing instead of the multiview'ed index.html.* files, if a very long path was created artificially by using many slashes. Now 403 FORBIDDEN is returned.
The bug fixes are: The ServerRoot directive now removes trailing slashes. Restore functionality broken by the mod_rewrite security fix: The mod_rewrite string arithmetic is corrected for rewrite map. Some possible segfault conditions have been fixed. Under certain circumstances, Apache did not supply the right response headers when requiring authentication."
