The underlying defect did affect 2.0 and was fixed, but it was not
considered a vulnerability for httpd 2.0 by the Apache HTTP Server
project.  The reason is given in the CVE-2006-3918 description for 1.3
(http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_13.html):

"Not marked as a security issue for 2.0 or 2.2 as the cross-site
scripting is only returned to the victim after the server times out a
connection. "
