It should be pointed out that the mod_dav vulnerability cited is not
a vulnerability present in any publicly and officially distributed releases 
of Apache 2.0.x, <http://httpd.apache.org/>.

I found the original statement in Msg <20030217134528.S10617@....com>

   1. Problem Description
        The Apache mod_dav module contains a format string vulnerability
        in the "ap_log_rerror()" function.

to be altogether misleading.  Under the terms of the Apache Software
Foundation License rev. 1.1, I ask that Caldera properly identify the 
unmodified software as they wish, but provide the appropriate clarifications 
whenever vendor modifications (esp. security holes) have been introduced, 
to avoid panicking the general community of Apache users.
