Description:
Synopsis :

Description :

The remote host is using a version of mod_ssl which is older than

This version is vulnerable to a flaw which may allow an attacker to
disable the remote web site remotely, or to execute arbitrary code on
the remote host.

module. Therefore, this alert might be a false-positive. Please

this flaw.
