so we sit around and wait eh?

"Upgrade to the latest version
The Apache Software Foundation has released two new versions of Apache that correct this vulnerability. System administrators can prevent the vulnerability from being exploited by upgrading to Apache version 1.3.25 or 2.0.39. The new versions of Apache will be available from their web site at"

don't see a 1.3.25 yet =/

The problem is that ISS did not follow standard procedure and reported the bug to the NIPC, instead of the to the Apache Software Foundation.

Normally, when a bug like this is discovered it is reported to the vendor (ASF in this case), who has 30 days to issue a patch, before it is reported publicly.

Because ISS did not do this, the ASF now has to scramble to put together a patch...hence the reason no releases have been issued.

It does say it affects 32bit systems as well, just not in the same manner, and nor quite as harshly

Point taken, but it's hardly anything to worry about on a 32 bit *nix box. We can't have those skiddiots coming around terminating our child processes, dammit! lol

Apache on x86 *nix is vulnerable to the remote shell exploit as well. Demonstration code to hack OpenBSD was released by GOBBLES this morning.

This could be nasty.

Roly -- I think you are misinterpreting, unless I missed the link, the current bugs listed in bugtraq all refer to versions of Apache prior to 1.3.26 and 2.0.38:

http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1

The only other Apache article I saw was the jerk who decided to release the exploit in a pre-compiled version for all of the script kiddies:

http://online.securityfocus.com/news/493

and

http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/277830

I'll keep my opinion of the the buttwipes that run "Gobbles Security" to myself.
