Comments (Legacy)
Cox> Many vendors have included fixes for CVE-2001-0131 in their distributions of Apache even though this has not been fixed upstream. I still believe that this is not worthy of a separate CVE name since this is just Debian forgetting to include their fix for CVE-2001-0131 in one of their versions, and then correcting it.
