The version of httpd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.46-2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1672 advisory.

  • Apache HTTP Server protocol handler for the HTTP/2 protocol checks received request headers against the size limitations as configured for the server and used for the HTTP/1 protocol as well. On violation of these restrictions and HTTP response is sent to the client with a status code indicating why the request was rejected. This rejection response was not fully initialised in the HTTP/2 protocol handler if the offending header was the very first one received or appeared in a a footer. This led to a NULL pointer dereference on initialised memory, crashing reliably the child process. Since such a triggering HTTP/2 request is easy to craft and submit, this can be exploited to DoS the server. This issue affected mod_http2 1.15.17 and Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.47 only. Apache HTTP Server 2.4.47 was never released. (CVE-2021-31618)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
