previous versions of this web server, an attacker can receive the content of
previously freed memory if an upstream server returned a specially crafted HTTP

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.7.67-3+squeeze2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
