The remote host is missing an update for the 'httpd' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. It was found that mod_proxy_ajp incorrectly returns an 'Internal Server Error' response, causing the back-end server to be marked as failed in load balancer mode

  It was discovered that mod_proxy_ajp incorrectly returned an 'Internal
  Server Error' response when processing certain malformed requests, which
  caused the back-end server to be marked as failed in configurations where
  mod_proxy is used in load balancer mode. A remote attacker could cause
  mod_proxy to not send requests to back-end AJP (Apache JServ Protocol)
  servers for the retry timeout period (60 seconds by default) by sending
  specially-crafted requests. (CVE-2010-0408)

  A use-after-free flaw was discovered in the way the Apache HTTP Server
  handled request headers in subrequests. In configurations where subrequests
  are used, a multithreaded MPM (Multi-Processing Module) could possibly leak
  information from other requests in request replies. (CVE-2010-0434)

  This update also adds the following enhancement:

  * with the updated openssl packages from RHSA-2010:0162 installed, mod_ssl
  will refuse to renegotiate a TLS/SSL connection with an unpatched client
  that does not support RFC 5746. This update adds the
  'SSLInsecureRenegotiation' configuration directive. If this directive is
  enabled, mod_ssl will renegotiate insecurely with unpatched clients.
  (BZ#567980)

  Refer to the linked Red Hat Knowledgebase article for more details about
  the changed mod_ssl behavior.

  All httpd users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
  backported patches to correct these issues and add this enhancement. After
  installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted for the
  update to take effect.");
