  <H2>Reporting Security Problems with Apache</H2>
  
  <p>The Apache Group takes a very active stance in eliminating security
  problems, and denial of service attacks against the Apache web server.  We
  strongly encourage folks to report such problems to our private security
  mailing list first, before disclosing them in a public forum.  The mailing
  address is <a href="mailto:security@apache.org">security@apache.org</a>.
  We cannot accept regular bug reports or other queries at this address,
  we ask that you use our <a href="bug_reports.html">bug reporting page</a>
  for those.
  
  <p>Note that all networked servers are subject to denial of service
  attacks, and we cannot promise magic workarounds to generic problems
  (such as a client streaming lots of data to your server, or re-requesting
  the same URL repeatedly).  In general our philosophy is to avoid any
  attacks which can cause the server to consume resources in a non-linear
  relationship to the size of inputs.
