"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - Apache httpd 2.0.59 and 2.2.4, with the Prefork MPM module, allows local users to cause a denial of
    service via certain code sequences executed in a worker process that (1) stop request processing by
    killing all worker processes and preventing creation of replacements or (2) hang the system by forcing the
    master process to fork an arbitrarily large number of worker processes. NOTE: This might be an inherent
    design limitation of Apache with respect to worker processes in hosted environments. (CVE-2007-3303)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
