Need to upgrade apache2 and php5 for security reasons

Hi all,

Our web servers have been checked recently by an external security firm. We
have been told that our web servers need to be upgraded to the latest
version in order to fix some security issues.

Security updates are applied every week on our servers. If I want to upgrade
Apache to version 2.2.9 and PHP to 5.2.6, how do I proceed if my servers are
already up to date and if there is nothing to upgrade, even when I use the
backports repository? I have both dapper and gutsy systems.

I know that I can download and compile these programs myself, but for future
updates, it becomes complicated since we have lots of servers...

Currently, for Gutsy, the version of Apache is 2.2.4-3ubuntu0.1 and PHP is
PHP5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3.

Any ideas on how to softly upgrade those two packages?

Thanks,

Chris
