- Comments
- 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.
