Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

New apache and mod_ssl packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1,
10.0, and -current to fix security issues. Apache has been upgraded to
version 1.3.32 which fixes a heap-based buffer overflow in mod_proxy.
mod_ssl was upgraded from version mod_ssl-2.8.19-1.3.31 to version
2.8.21-1.3.32 which corrects a flaw permiting a client to use a cipher
which the server does not consider secure enough.
