According to its banner, the version of Apache 2.2.x running on the remote host is prior to 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 that Nessus has not tested for these flaws but has instead relied on the version in the server’s banner.
