Slackware-10.2 ChangeLog (2006-07-28)

Fri Jul 28 17:37:42 CDT 2006

patches/packages/apache-1.3.37-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz:
Upgraded to apache-1.3.37.
From the announcement on httpd.apache.org:
This version of Apache is security fix release only. An off-by-one flaw
exists in the Rewrite module, mod_rewrite, as shipped with Apache 1.3
since 1.3.28, 2.0 since 2.0.46, and 2.2 since 2.2.0.
The Slackware Security Team feels that the vast majority of installations
will not be configured in a vulnerable way but still suggests upgrading to
the new apache and mod_ssl packages for maximum security.
For more details, see:

And see Apache's announcement here:

patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.28_1.3.37-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz:
Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.28-1.3.37.
