The remote host is using the Apache mod_frontpage module.

mod_frontpage older than 1.6.1 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could allow an attacker to gain root access.

*** Since Nessus was not able to remotely determine the version*** of mod_frontage you are running, you are advised to manually *** check which version you are running as this might be a false*** positive.

If you want the remote server to be remotely secure, we advise you do not use this module at all.

# (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc.
#

# This is the "check" for an old flaw (published in March 2002). We can't
# actually determine the version of the remote mod_frontpage, so we issue
# an alert each time we detect it as running.
#
# Mandrake's Security Advisory states that the flaw is remotely exploitable,
# while FreeBSD's Security advisory (FreeBSD-SA-02:17) claims this is only
# locally exploitable.
#
# In either case, we can't remotely determine the version of the server, so
