We have received a report from Dag-Erling Coidan Smørgrav who says
that the apache as distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 is vulnerable
to a denial of services exploit, where repeated, identical headers
can consume O(n^2) memory.
We recommend you upgrade your apache package immediately.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
