The remote host appears to be running a version of Apache 2.x which is
older than 2.0.50.
There is denial of service in apache httpd 2.0.x by sending a
specially crafted HTTP request. It is possible to consume arbitrary
amount of memory. On 64 bit systems with more than 4GB virtual memory
this may lead to heap based buffer overflow. See also
http://www.guninski.com/httpd1.html
There is also a denial of service vulnerability in mod_ssl’s
ssl_io_filter_cleanup function. By sending a request to vulnerable
server over SSL and closing the connection before the server can send
a response, an attacker can cause a memory violation that crashes the
server.
