Risks with very old Apache version
|
|
|
| Hello,
I have created a program that can be manged by a webbrowser.
Because this device has only a small pice of memory I have lookd up a very
old apache webserver to run on this device.
I have installed apache 0.65.
This works great, but I have one question. What are the risks involved
running this version?? how can somebody crash this version off apache??
people can only look at the websites, they can't run there own html code.
thank you all!

The same that you have by running any "old" version of a piece of
software: there can be bugs that have been fixed in newer version.
Besides, there are many "mini-web-server" with a small footprint
without going for a fully-fledged Apache server.

| There truly are quite a number of "small footprint" webservers out
there. Just do a google search, I don't know if something like Tux
would work for you, but there are several more.
