remote host is prior to 2.2.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities :
- Improper handling of excessive forwarded interim
responses may cause denial of service conditions in
mod_proxy_http. (CVE-2008-2364)
- A cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the
balancer-manager interface of mod_proxy_balancer.
(CVE-2007-6420)

vulnerabilities. Nessus did not try to determine whether the affected
