The problem was originally identified on apache2 (see http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10355/) and it has already been patched there. Incidentally, AFAIK there is no vulnerability unless you are using "SSLOptions FakeBasicAuth". It's a fairly specialised option so my feeling is that this doesn't urgently affect a whole lot of people... Of course, you should still upgrade just in case some time in the future you do switch that option on.
