It was discovered that the Apache web server did not properly handle the "Options=" parameter to the AllowOverride directive: In the stable distribution (lenny), local users could (via .htaccess) enable script execution in Server Side Includes even in configurations where the AllowOverride directive contained only Options=IncludesNoEXEC. In the oldstable distribution (etch), local users could (via .htaccess) enable script execution in Server Side Includes and CGI script execution in configurations where the AllowOverride directive contained any "Options=" value. The oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.3-4+etch8.
