Re: When is a version above apache 2.4.10 going to release for Deb 8?



Thanks.  This is helpful.. Sadly though PCI-DSS compliance scanners look for the daemon version and when they see the vulnerable version it flags it without further checks.  It looks like there are many cve's that have not been corrected...  There are no change dates on anything listed either which also causes confusion. 

Best Regards,

Debian back-ports individual security fixes, not complete new upstream
versions. See https://www.debian.org/security/faq#oldversion

An overview over the security issues that have been fixed in apache2 is
available via

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/apache2
