"The version of Apache httpd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.68. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2.4.68 advisory.

  - CVE-2026-49975, also known as HTTP/2 Bomb, is a remote denial-of-service exploit against most major web
    servers, including: nginx, Apache httpd, Microsoft IIS, Envoy, Cloudflare Pingor. The vulnerable behavior
    exists in each server's default HTTP/2 configuration (CVE-2026-49975)

  - mod_xml2enc heap overflow: Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server with
    mod_xml2enc, xml2StartParse, and untrusted content This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.0
    through 2.4.67. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.68, which fixes the issue.
