 CVE-2008-0555 (The ExpandCert function in Apache-SSL before 
apache_1.3.41+ssl_1.59 ...)
        - apache <removed>
-       TODO: check if this needs a DSA
+       [etch] - apache <no-dsa> (only exploitable in very specific setups)
+       NOTE: Only affects the apache-ssl package, not apache or apache-perl.
+       NOTE: Only relevant if the attacker can get a CA that is trusted by the 
server
+       NOTE: to sign client certs with arbitrary CN, but cannot influence the 
contents
+       NOTE: of the other DN fields.
+       NOTE: OTOH, the configuration used in Debian's apache-ssl 1.55 (per-dir
+       NOTE: ssl-renegotiation switched off), has obviously not been tested by 
upstream
+       NOTE: with 1.59 (it doesn't even compile).
+       NOTE: Also, upstream's fix breaks API/ABI compatibility in some corner 
cases.
+       NOTE: While these cases are not really supported by Debian, all in all 
the low
+       NOTE: severity of the issue is not in proportion to the risk of 
breaking something
+       NOTE: with the fix.
 CVE-2008-0552 (Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in index.php in
