Default Apache HTTP Server update fixes remote DoS issue - Update

From http://www.h-online.com/security/new...e-1241951.html

Quote:
The Apache HTTP Server developers have released version 2.2.18 of the eponymous web server as a bug fix and security fix release. The security fix is needed because of a vulnerability to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack; the vulnerability is rated as moderate.

A bug in Apache Portable Runtime's (APR) apr_fnmatch() function could be provoked into triggering recursive string matching and thus causing excessive CPU usage and exhausting memory.
