*** Please type your report below this line ***

A security hole has been disclosed on the Apache web site.
http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html

Although it is disclosed as a denial of service, it seems
to involve a buffer overflow, and thus allow remote code
execution under the apache account. I can confim, from
attacks in systems of a customer, that this is actually the case.

As I have not seen any security upgrade from 4th of september,
date of the disclosure, I request this issue to be fixed.
