The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200907-04 (Apache: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Apache HTTP     server:
Jonathan Peatfield reported that the     'Options=IncludesNoEXEC' argument to the 'AllowOverride' directive is     not processed properly (CVE-2009-1195).
Sander de Boer     discovered that the AJP proxy module (mod_proxy_ajp) does not correctly     handle POST requests that do not contain a request body     (CVE-2009-1191).
The vendor reported that the HTTP proxy     module (mod_proxy_http), when being used as a reverse proxy, does not     properly handle requests containing more data as stated in the     'Content-Length' header (CVE-2009-1890).
Francois Guerraz     discovered that mod_deflate does not abort the compression of large     files even when the requesting connection is closed prematurely     (CVE-2009-1891).

Impact :

A local attacker could circumvent restrictions put up by the server     administrator and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the     user running the Apache server. A remote attacker could send multiple     requests to a server with the AJP proxy module, possibly resulting in     the disclosure of a request intended for another client, or cause a     Denial of Service by sending specially crafted requests to servers     running mod_proxy_http or mod_deflate.

Workaround :

Remove 'include', 'proxy_ajp', 'proxy_http' and 'deflate' from     APACHE2_MODULES in make.conf and rebuild Apache, or disable the     aforementioned modules in the Apache configuration.
