| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of Apache 2.2 installed on the remote host is older than 2.2.21. It therefore is potentially affected by a denial of service vulnerability.
An error exists in the 'mod_proxy_ajp' module that can allow specially crafted HTTP requests to cause a backend server to temporarily enter an error state. This vulnerability only occurs when 'mod_proxy_ajp' is used along with 'mod_proxy_balancer'.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.

* Platforms Affected:
