Debian 3.1 DSA 1167-1 Critical: Apache Remote Exploit Resolved

A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw exists in the mod_imap component of
the Apache server.

CVE-2006-3918

Apache does not sanitize the Expect header from an HTTP request when
it is reflected back in an error message, which might allow cross-site
scripting (XSS) style attacks.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.33-6sarge3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.34-3.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache package.
