apache vulnerability
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Details
A buffer overflow was discovered in the "htpasswd" utility. This could
be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
invoking htpasswd. This is only a security vulnerability if you have a
website that offers a public interface to htpasswd without checking
the input beforehand; however, this is very unusual.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package version:
- Ubuntu 4.10:
- apache-utils
