The nessus check for this vulnerability recommends upgrading to
Apache version 1.3.32:

http://cgi.nessus.org/plugins/dump.php3?id=14771

But in Apache 1.3.33:

lachoy# grep strcpy /install/src/apache_1.3.33/src/support/htpasswd.c
    strcpy(record, user);
        strcpy(pwfilename, argv[i]);
    strcpy(user, argv[i + 1]);
        strcpy(password, argv[i + 2]);
            strcpy(scratch, line);

It is still vulnerable.

This was fixed in OpenBSD's apache 2003/04/08, over 18 months ago.
