IBM HTTP Server

One of our client's are utilising IBM's HTTP server and Websphere to host
their website and web applications. The IBM HTTP server utilises Apache to
serve web content to users (the version in question is 1.3.12 for Win32). My
query is related to the vulnerabilities associated with the Win32 version of
the Apache webserver. Can the vulnerabilites associated with 1.3.12 Win32
version of Apache be used on an IBM HTTP server; or have IBM modified the
Apache source in anyway to protect against these issues?

Just a thought since there don't seem to be any upgrades to later versions
of Apache Win32 from IBM as yet, although version 1.3.14 is planned for the
next release.

Cheers,

Paul Rogers,
Network Security Analyst.
