[***** Start DSA-1131-1 *****]
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 arbitary code.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.33-6sarge2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problems will be fixed shortly.
We recommend that you upgrade your apache package.
MD5 checksums of the listed files are available in the original advisory.
