| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of Apache 2.2 installed on the remote host is earlier than 2.2.23. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities:
- The utility 'apachectl' can receive a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH via the 'envvars' file. A local attacker with access to that utility could exploit this to load a malicious Dynamic Shared Object (DSO), leading to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-0883)
- An input validation error exists related to 'mod_negotiation', 'Multiviews' and untrusted uploads that can allow cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2012-2687)
* 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.
