"The version of httpd installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-42516 advisory.

  - HTTP response splitting in the core of Apache HTTP Server allows an attacker who can manipulate the
    Content-Type response headers of applications hosted or proxied by the server can split the HTTP response.
    This vulnerability was described as CVE-2023-38709 but the patch included in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 did
    not address the issue. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.64, which fixes this issue.
