The remote host appears to be running a version of the Apache web server which is older than 1.3.29. Such versions are reportedly affected by local buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the mod_alias and mod_rewrite modules. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application.
*** Note that Nessus solely relied on the version number*** of the remote server to issue this warning. This might
*** be a false positive
