SECURITY: new apache packages now available

[twiztah () ANARCHY MAXHO COM (twiztah)]

A denial-of-service attack against the Apache web server has been found which
lets remote sites disable your web server. This attack does not let remote
users gain any sort of access to your computer, nor does it let local users
gain any special access.

Red Hat recommends upgrading apache on systems which are functioning as
Internet servers. After installing the new apache package, be sure to
restart the apache server as follows:

        /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
        /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

A fix for the Red Hat Secure Server will be available later this week.
