Today we received a notification e-mail from DirectAdmin with also the solution for the apache bug.

Hello,

DirectAdmin 1.39.2 has been released:
http://www.directadmin.com/versions.php?version=1.392000

This is both a bugfix and feature release.

The main bugfix is with the Brute Force Monitor (BFM), including significant performance increases.

The BFM page also has a few more goodies on it, including the most attacked Users and a skip list for Users and IPs.

One simple feature that was added in is the ability to suspend an email account:

Also coded is a per-email send limit (so accounts don’t need to share a limit):

It’s also important to note that for existing installs the BFM is not turned on internally.
This means that if there is no option set in the directadmin.conf it will be off.
It was turned on by default in 1.39.1, so it does not mean it will be on in 1.39.2 if it was on in 1.39.1.
Either way, after you update, ensure it’s set however you’d like.
For new installs, it will be on by default.

Also, apache 2.2.20 was released today.
It contains a security a fix for a “range” header denial of service attack and is recommended everyone update:
