Hi

I'm using CentOS 3, and it's fully patched using yum. Apache reports version
2.0.46 (CentOS)

A colleague ran a copy of Nikto, a scripted vuln. finder, against my server,
and reported the following problems. The only one I've tested is the
directory traversal, and it seems to be an issue. Will the upstream vendor
patch these issues in Apache 2.0.46, or not? If not, does anyone know why
not?

# Apache/2.0.46 (CentOS) - Apache 2.0 to 2.0.49 may allow unescaped data
into logfiles, which could pose a threat when logs are viewed/parsed.
CAN-2003-0020. OSVDB-4382.
# Apache/2.0.46 (CentOS) - Apache 2.0 to 2.0.50 contains a DoS with certain
input data. CAN-2004-0493. OSVDB-7269.
# Apache/2.0.46 (CentOS) - Apache 2.0 to 2.0.51 contains a potential
infinite loop. CAN-2004-0748. OSVDB-9523.
# 2.0.46 (CentOS) - TelCondex Simpleserver 2.13.31027 Build 3289 and below
