If you are referring to that one mentioned just within the last day or two then that is the first one I have seen in 2 years, and it was "far" from being a major one in my book considering it would have effected so few installations. For those installations that it would have effected only on BSD would it possibly have allowed execution of code, the rest were nothing more than a denial of service. Of course you would have had to been running specific versions of 1.3.x and using the proxy features of Apache.
