http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_20.html

states that Apache 2.0.52 is 4 years old and the latest version is 2.0.68.
i am no longer a httpd expert, but at least one of the security fixes
involves XSS attacks via malformed ftp commands.  I also realize that
redhat / centos may patch things separately from Apache and that the
sysadmin has  a great deal to do with how secure things are, but
almost 5 years?

Does the sysadmin for www.centos.org get paid?
