Package: apache
Severity: normal

mod_usertrack generates non-random cookies (see the source code and
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2001-1534).  I don't
think that this is a real security issue because mod_usertrack only uses
the cookies for invading user privacy, not for authentication (however,
there seems to be one Apache Perl module that uses these cookies for
some kind of session ID).  The MITRE database seems to disagree, so
please check who's right.  Thanks.

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/328919 in Debian BTS
against the package apache. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/418266. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
