Apache HTTP Server 2.0.52 Released
The Apache Software Foundation and the The Apache HTTP Server Project are
pleased to announce the release of version 2.0.52 of the Apache HTTP
Server ("Apache"). This Announcement notes the significant changes
in 2.0.52 as compared to 2.0.51. The Announcement is also available in
German and Japanese from:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.txt.de
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.txt.ja
This version of Apache is principally a bug fix release. Of
particular note is that 2.0.52 addresses one new security related
flaw introduced in 2.0.51:
Fix merging of the Satisfy directive, which was applied to
the surrounding context and could allow access despite configured
authentication.

The Apache HTTP Server Project would like to thank Rici Lake for
identification and a proposed fix of this flaw.
This release is compatible with modules compiled for 2.0.42 and
later versions. We consider this release to be the best version of
Apache available and encourage users of all prior versions to
upgrade.
Apache HTTP Server 2.0.52 is available for download from
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi?update=200409150645
Please see the CHANGES_2.0 file, linked from the above page, for

boosts over the 1.3 codebase. For an overview of new features introduced
after 1.3 please see

When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please keep
in mind the following:

modules to obtain this information.
