Checks for version of FastStream NetFile Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is running a version of the FastStream Web server which is older or as old as version 7.1. The remote version of this software does not close the connection when an HTTP HEAD request is received with the keep-alive option set. A possible hacker may exploit this flaw by sending multiple HEAD requests to the remote host, thus consuming all its file descriptors until it does not accept connections any more.
