The Apache Software Foundation and the The Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the release of version 2.0.51 of the Apache HTTP Server ("Apache"). This Announcement notes the significant changes in 2.0.51 as compared to 2.0.50.
This version of Apache is principally a bug fix release. Of particular note is that 2.0.51 addresses five security vulnerabilities including an input validation issue in IPv6 literal address parsing and a buffer overflow in configuration file parsing, a potential infinite loop in mod_ssl and a segfault in mod_ssl and mod_dav_fs.
This release is compatible with modules compiled for 2.0.42 and later versions. The Apache Software Foundation consider this release to be the best version of Apache available and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.
