Mandrake alert: mod_ssl update

A cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered in mod_ssl by Joe Orton. This only affects servers using a combination of wildcard DNS and "UseCanonicalName off" (which is not the default in Mandrake Linux). With this setting turned off, Apache will attempt to use the hostname:port that the client supplies, which is where the problem comes into play. With this setting turned on (the default), Apache constructs a self-referencing URL and will use ServerName and Port to form the canonical name. It is recommended that all users upgrade, regardless of the setting of the "UseCanonicalName" configuration option.
