Pwn2own and $200k bounty on httpd

http://blog.trendmicro.com/pwn2own-returns-for-2017-to-celebrate-10-years-of-exploits/

Server Side

This is another new category for Pwn2Own, but one that should prove
noteworthy. A successful exploit against Apache Web Server on Ubuntu
Server will net the researcher $200,000 and earn a whopping 25 Master
of Pwn points. Considering this setup accounts for roughly half of all
websites, it’s pretty clear the impact a bug here would have. An
attempt in this category must be launched from the contestant laptops
within the contest network.
