Hi,

redhat recently patched apache2.

CVE-2009-1195 is still reserved, but is disclosed in RHSA-2009-1075[1]

A security issue has been reported in Apache HTTP Server, which can be exploited
by malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to an error when processing
"AllowOverride"
directives and certain "Options" arguments in ".htaccess"
files, which can be
exploited to e.g. execute commands via Server Side Includes.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE id in your changelog entry.
