Checks for version of Apache Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is running a version of Apache2 which is older than 2.0.51. It is reported that versions prior 2.0.51 are prone to a remote denial of service issue. A possible hacker may issue a specific sequence of DAV LOCK commands to crash the process. If Apache is configured to use threads, it may completely crash the Apache process. In addition to this, versions prior 2.0.51 are prone to a remote buffer overflow when parsing an URI sent over IPv6. A possible hacker may use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the remote host or to deny service to legitimate users.
