They patched those, but I was also one of the people who fell victim to
AWstat's security holes, so I have setup my Apache configuration to
allow access to AWstats only from my own trusted subnets.

Like so:

<Directory "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from 127.0.0.1 .kobran.org 10.123.123.
</Directory>
# Additional Perl modules
<IfModule mod_env.c>
    SetEnv PERL5LIB /usr/share/awstats/lib:/usr/share/awstats/plugins
</IfModule>

That, plus SELinux have protected me since then.
