    <p>
    The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the
    internet. mod_include is an Apache module to handle Server Side Includes
    (SSI).
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    A possible buffer overflow exists in the get_tag() function of
    mod_include.c.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    If Server Side Includes (SSI) are enabled, a local attacker may be able to
    run arbitrary code with the rights of an httpd child process by making use
    of a specially-crafted document with malformed SSI.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/apache-1.3.32-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
