obsolescence). Starting July 1, 2003, HP Apache-based Web Server v1.3.x will not be
supported on HP-UX. For more information, see “HP Apache-based Web Server for
HP-UX” on page 106.
Compatibility
Apache modules that have been built with Apache 2.0.43 are binary-compatible only
with 2.0.42, and no other previous releases. All earlier modules must be recompiled in
order to work with this version. For example, a module compiled to work with 2.0.39 will
not work with 2.0.43.
Performance
Performance is similar to previous HP Apache-based Web Server 2.x releases. (The base
Apache HTTP server is the same.)
Performance is increased over HP Apache-based Web Server 1.3.x releases. (The base
Apache HTTP server 2.x offers improved scalability over Apache 1.3.x.)

before 1.070 and (2) Usermin before 1.000 does not properly handle metacharacters
such as line feeds and carriage returns (CRLF) in Base-64 encoded strings during

root privileges. More details are available at http://cve.mitre.org/:
