Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The Apache web server running on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a crafted request, to display a listing of a remote directory, even if a valid index file exists in the directory.

For Apache web server later than 1.3.22, review listing directory configuration to avoid disclosing sensitive information

Solution

Upgrade to Apache version 1.3.22 or later. Alternatively, as a workaround, disable Multiviews.
