Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.11303
Category:CGI abuses
Title:mod_frontpage installed
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is using the Apache mod_frontpage module.

mod_frontpage older than 1.6.1 is vulnerable to a buffer
overflow which may allow an attacker to gain root access.

*** Since Nessus was not able to remotely determine the version
*** of mod_frontage you are running, you are advised to manually
*** check which version you are running as this might be a false
*** positive.

If you want the remote server to be remotely secure, we advise
you do not use this module at all.


Solution : Disable this module
Risk factor : High
