For completeness we're providing the original problem description: An algorithm weakness has been discovered in Apache2::Request, the generic request library for Apache2 which can be exploited remotely and cause a denial of service via CPU consumption. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain this package. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.04-dev-1sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.07-1. We recommend that you upgrade your libapreq2, libapache2-mod-apreq2 and libapache2-request-perl packages. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
