Quote from <http://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/Announcement>;:
This version of Apache is principally a bug and security fix release.
A partial summary of the bug fixes is given at the end of this document.
A full listing of changes can be found in the CHANGES file. Of
particular note is that 1.3.29 addresses and fixes 1 potential
security issue:
o CAN-2003-0542 (cve.mitre.org)
Fix buffer overflows in mod_alias and mod_rewrite which occurred if
one configured a regular expression with more than 9 captures.
We consider Apache 1.3.29 to be the best version of Apache 1.3 available
and we strongly recommend that users of older versions, especially of
the 1.1.x and 1.2.x family, upgrade as soon as possible. No further
releases will be made in the 1.2.x family.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
net-misc/apache 1.x upgrade:
emerge sync
emerge -pv apache
emerge '>=net-www/apache-1.3.29'
emerge clean
/etc/init.d/apache restart
// end
