We have received a report from Dag-Erling Coidan Sm=F8rgrav who says
that the apache as distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 is vulnerable
to a denial of services exploit, where repeated, identical headers
can consume O(n^2) memory.

We recommend you upgrade your apache package immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.
