[slackware-security] Apache httpd

New Apache packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1,
10.2, and -current to fix a security issue with mod_rewrite.

More details about the issues may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:

https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2006-3747

In addition, new mod_ssl packages for Apache 1.3.37 are available for
all of these versions of Slackware. This additional package does not
fix a security issue, but may be required on your system depending on
your Apache setup.

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/apache-1.3.37-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz:
Upgraded to apache-1.3.37.
From the announcement on httpd.apache.org:
This version of Apache is security fix release only. An off-by-one flaw
exists in the Rewrite module, mod_rewrite, as shipped with Apache 1.3
since 1.3.28, 2.0 since 2.0.46, and 2.2 since 2.2.0.
The Slackware Security Team feels that the vast majority of installations
will not be configured in a vulnerable way but still suggests upgrading to
the new apache and mod_ssl packages for maximum security.
