<bug_description>The remote host is running an Apache web server. A vulnerability has been discovered in the Apache web server prior 1.3.30 that may result in the disclosure of sensitive information. Specifically, sensitive process information is used within generated MIME message boundaries. Access to this information may aid an attacker in launching attacks further attacks against target services.</bug_description>
<bug_solution>If the web server is not used it should be de-installed or de-activated. Install the newest patch or bugfix to solve the problem or upgrade to the latest software version which is not vulnerable anymore. To make it harder to find the server the daemon could be configured to listen at another port (e.g. 8081). Alternation of the application banner can confuse an attacker and let him determine the wrong software. Additionally limit unwanted connections and communications with firewalling.</bug_solution>
