Summary:The remote web server appears to be running a version; of Apache HTTP Server that is older than version 1.3.33.
Description:Summary:
The remote web server appears to be running a version
of Apache HTTP Server that is older than version 1.3.33.

Vulnerability Insight:
This version is vulnerable to a local buffer overflow
in the get_tag() function of the module 'mod_include' when a specially crafted document
with malformed server-side includes is requested though an HTTP session.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary
code with escalated privileges, but requires that server-side includes (SSI) is enabled.

Solution:
Disable SSI or update to a newer version when available.
