CVE-2002-2103

Apache before 1.3.24, when writing to the log file, records a spoofed hostname from the reverse lookup of an IP address, even when a double-reverse lookup fails, which allows remote attackers to hide the original source of activities.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (6.06%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
