Check for the version of the apache package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:133 (apache). Mark Dowd, of McAffee Avert Labs, discovered a potential remotely exploitable off-by-one flaw in Apache's mod_rewrite ldap scheme handling. In order for this to be exploitable, a number of conditions need to be met including a) running a vulnerable version of Apache (1.3.28+, 2.0.46+, or 2.2.0+), b) enabling mod_rewrite, c) having a rewrite rule that the remote user can influence the beginning of, and d) a particular stack frame layout. By default, RewriteEngine is not enabled in Mandriva Linux Apache packages, and no RewriteRules are defined. Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
