I am looking at the httpd and python and pyexpat used in CentOS 4 ... I get this: ===== [root at v20z-x86-64 ~]# python Python 2.3.4 (#1, Dec 11 2007, 05:28:55) [GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pyexpat >>> pyexpat.version_info (1, 95, 7) ===== [root at v20z-x86-64 ~]# ldd /usr/sbin/httpd | grep expat libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0 (0x0000002a95dba000) [root at v20z-x86-64 ~]# strings /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0 | grep expat_ expat_1.95.7 ===== So, it does not seem that Apache or Python or pyexpat that comes standard in CentOS-4 has this issue. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
