Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-1132-1 apache2

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Mark Dowd discovered a buffer overflow in the mod_rewrite component of
apache, a versatile high-performance HTTP server. In some situations a
remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.54-5sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed shortly.
We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 package.
