Apache mod_ssl denial of service |
||
|
Checks for version of Apache Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host appears to be running a version of Apache 2.x which is older than 2.0.49. There is a bug in the module mod_ssl which ships with Apache 2.0.35 to 2.0.48 which makes it vulnerable to a remote denial of service. A possible hacker may exploit this flaw by issuing malformed SSL commands when connect to the remote host, and may therefore use it to prevent HTTPS from working. Solution : Upgrade to Apache/2.0.49 when it is available Network Security Threat Level: Medium Networks Security ID: 9826 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2006 Tenable Network Security |
