Me too.

Apache 1.3.30 is supposed to fix that. But it wasn't release so far.

Name CAN-2003-0020 (under review)
Description Apache does not filter terminal escape sequences from its
error logs, which could make it easier for attackers to insert
those sequences into terminal emulators containing
vulnerabilities related to escape sequences.
So unless you are using "cat" in a vulnerable (X11) terminal emulator you
are safe. If you are not sure and want to read your logfiles just
use "strings /path/to/log".

It works for me.
