## Description

The Apache HTTP Server 2.2.11 and earlier 2.2 versions does not properly
handle Options=IncludesNOEXEC in the AllowOverride directive, which allows
local users to gain privileges by configuring (1) Options Includes, (2)
Options +Includes, or (3) Options +IncludesNOEXEC in a .htaccess file, and
then inserting an exec element in a .shtml file.

### [jdstrand](https://launchpad.net/~jdstrand)

the RedHat patch broke mod\_perl. Be sure to use all the upstream
patches to avoid https://qa.mandriva.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=51554
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS is not affected because it doesn't have per-Option
AllowOverrides logic (see http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=124092657628747&w=2)
apache 2.2.8 and under also need r652885
