The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200907-02 (ModSecurity: Denial of Service)

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in ModSecurity:
Juan Galiana Lara of ISecAuditors discovered a NULL pointer     dereference when processing multipart requests without a part header     name (CVE-2009-1902).
Steve Grubb of Red Hat reported that the     'PDF XSS protection' feature does not properly handle HTTP requests to     a PDF file that do not use the GET method (CVE-2009-1903).

Impact :

A remote attacker might send requests containing specially crafted     multipart data or send certain requests to access a PDF file, possibly     resulting in a Denial of Service (crash) of the Apache HTTP daemon.
NOTE: The PDF XSS protection is not enabled by default.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
