high Nessus Plugin ID 103838

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the version of Apache running on the remote host is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.28. It is, therefore, affected by an HTTP vulnerability related to the <Limit {method}> directive in an .htaccess file.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache version 2.4.28 or later.
