Hi everyone,

I received an email like this

Hello,
We like to keep everyone updated with news of new possible exploits. We have just been alerted to one relating to Apache. Please see below and take appropriate action. If you need any help, please raise a ticket with our Support team.
https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html

We are hearing reports of exploit(s) already being produced and strongly recommend that everyone update to Apache HTTP 2.4.39 as soon as possible - especially in shared hosting environments!
https://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.4.html
Is it true?
If yes, how to update Apache to fix this error?

You may have issues with Centos 6 repos doing upgrades. You would want to make a backup of your httpd.conf file and then you can try "yum upgrade httpd". This is assuming you have no control panel installed.
