  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"New apache packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, and -current to
fix security issues. These include a possible denial-of-service attack as well
as the ability to possible pipe shell escapes through Apache's errorlog (which
could create an exploit if the error log is read in a terminal program that
does not filter such escapes). We recommend that sites running Apache upgrade
to the new Apache package.

Here are the details from the Slackware 9.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Wed May 12 13:06:39 PDT 2004
patches/packages/apache-1.3.29-i486-2.tgz: Patched four security issues
 in the Apache web server as noted on [link moved to references].
 These security fixes were backported from Apache 1.3.31:

 In mod_digest, verify whether the nonce returned in the client
 response is one we issued ourselves. This problem does not affect
 mod_auth_digest. (CAN-2003-0987)

 Escape arbitrary data before writing into the errorlog. (CAN-2003-0020)

 Fix starvation issue on listening sockets where a short-lived connection
 on a rarely-accessed listening socket will cause a child to hold the
 accept mutex and block out new connections until another connection
 arrives on that rarely-accessed listening socket. (CAN-2004-0174)

 Fix parsing of Allow/Deny rules using IP addresses without a netmask,
 issue is only known to affect big-endian 64-bit platforms (CAN-2003-0993)
