According to the web server banner, the version of mod_ssl running on the remote host has a cross-site scripting vulnerability. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into requesting a maliciously crafted URL, resulting in stolen credentials.
Note that several Linux distributions (such as RedHat) patched the old version of this module. Therefore, this might be a false positive. Please check with your vendor to determine if you really are affected by this flaw.
