Actually it was fixed in less than 24 hours and it was never an exploit but a remote possibility of a DoS attack using the vunderability. I never actually saw an exploit for the flaw.

Dunno - someone claimed that they opened a ticket on this way back on May 30, although I haven't looked for myself. If that's the case, then three weeks for a patch sounds much less impressive than 24 hours.

FYI, there are remote _exploits_ out there for all OSes. Gobbles, if you are familiar with him, has released an OpenBSD one and says he has a Linux one also.

compiled his code of two different Uncies and attacked one of my OpenBSD servers running an unpatched version of Apache, no luck. Couldn't exploit it. I read some info and found other people had the same results as me.
