Update Information:

Fixed bug #174837 (CVE-2005-3630)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=174837


Frank Reppin discovered a flaw in the default Apache configuration for 
Fedora DS.  By default clients are allowed to read everything under the 
document root, which can reveal sensitive information to a remote user. 
This update modifies this behavior, only allowing read access to 
specific files and directories under the document root.
