AFAIK, it was all versions. At least, Sun recalled *all* of them ?

The problem was that if you got a redirect from a HTTPS page,
say for instance when visiting https://www.example.com/webmail,
it would redirect you to http://www.example.com:443/webmail/ -
instead of the correct location https://www.example.com/webmail/

And this was because the "ap_http_method" function was messed up...
Besides from that, it seems that a memory allocation was broken too.
Not sure if that is the reason behind the recent zombie army, though?
(people have reported that updated apache's generate zombie processes)
