Description:

The remote web server appears to be running a version of
Apache that is less that 2.0.49 or 1.3.31.

These versions are vulnerable to a denial of service attack where a remote
attacker can block new connections to the server by connecting to a listening
socket on a rarely accessed port.

Solution: Upgrade to Apache 2.0.49 or 1.3.31.
