 Obviously most mass-vhosters are capable of compiling their own binary,
 so providing the seperate-pid-table patch (whoever gets around to writing
 one) resolves any immediate urgency.

I don't believe its a critical security issue -- if you can run code on
the server, as the server process, we can't defend against it.  This
seems to me like a battle line firmly in the scripting languages land.

Anyways, until we have a patch that we can consider, I'm in no hurry.

On APR{,-Util}: Likely a good idea anyways.

1.3 could be rolled/released whenever it's been patched, but I'd

rather see *one* announcement, again, like we did about a year  
back, so we

don't have silly people scrambling to install 1.3 in place of 2.2 :)

I volunteer to roll 1.3 when it's ready, since Sander offered to  
roll 2.2

(and perhaps 2.0?)



Sounds good. I can likely take a look at adding
the parent has local pid table and verifies
scoreboard with it patch to 1.3 maybe over the
weekend (the 2.0 and 2.2 will likely follow
the same concept), unless someone beats me to it :)

I'll be happy to RM both.

 Given the fact that we wanted to do this about 4 weeks ago anyway +1

 because releasing now with the security statement out and no patch
 for at least the one that we regard as somewhat sensitive seems to
 have the potential of confusing people even more than not releasing.
 (They release a new version without a fix for this security hole.
 WTF?).

+1 to that.  We can't entirely ignore the wagging of tongues.

We also have remaining bugfixes that *should* go in.
PR#39710 is simple enough to review, and another release without
fixing that would be a huge WTF???  I'm also part way through
reviewing Chris's mod_dbd rewrite.  It's clearly an improvement on
what we have, but getting three +1s by the weekend seems optimistic.

I'd like to, but my time will be sporadic enough the next
few days as to make it unwise to depend on me to
do this :)

Good reminder. I just casted my vote for the backport. So lets hope
that we get the missing +1.

Yes, that would be very optimistic. IMHO his patches deserve more attention,
but I am currently too short on time and not so familar with the mod_dbd
code that I can do this. But as there are several proposals from Chris, you
and Chris may be able to advice which of them are most important / easiest to
review. So maybe some lower hanging fruits :-).
