There is a local buffer overflow in the 'htpasswd' command in these
versions that may allow a local user to gain elevated privileges if
'htpasswd' is run setuid or a remote user to run arbitrary commands
remotely if the script is accessible through a CGI. 

*** Note that OpenVAS solely relied on the version number
*** of the remote server to issue this warning. This might
*** be a false positive";
