Software Update: Apache 2.0.40

Spread the love

Infinion sent us to freshmeat.net, which contained a new version of the popular Apache web server. It concerns version 2.0.40.

Apache is the world’s most popular HTTP server, being quite possibly the best around in terms of functionality, efficiency, security and speed.[break]The site summarizes the changelog as follows:[/break]This version of Apache is principally a security and bugfix release. It fixes the serious vulnerability noted in CAN-2002-0661, which affects the Win32, OS/2, and Netware ports, as well as the pair of path exposures noted in CAN-2002-0654 (mitre.org).[break]If you want a little more detail, you can already free up the next 3 days to read it changelog, which puts an abrupt end to the illusion that Linux-Kernel changelogs are long. The tar.gz download is here to find.
