Dear apache2 maintainer team,

 Probably you know, but FYI.
 (I cannot find discussion in debian-apache ML and new packages
  in incoming, so I posted this in BTS. This post makes users to
  track security issue more easier, I think).

 Georgi Guninski found security flaw about DoS attack in apache 2.0.49.
 (http://www.guninski.com/httpd1.html)

 and patch is here.
 http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.0.49/CAN-2004-0493.patch
 Is there any plan to apply this patch?

 If I had overlooked your working about this issue, please let me know
 what I should see.

It may take some time. This version would be able to go into testing, but
the compilation on arm failed.
http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/apache2.html

This is because of a missing dependency on a openssh library, as far as I can tell.

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=apache2&ver=2.0.50-5&arch=arm&stamp=1089675899&file=log&as=raw

Sorry about that, I hope the maintainers will be able to upload a fixed
version soon.

Wrong. If you read the bug associated with this problem, the cause is
openssl segfaulting when built with O3 optimisations on arm. I NMUd OpenSSL
a few days ago, so I'll do an upload to get apache2 rebuilt shortly.
Not much I can do past that, sadly.
