Bugtraq ID10736
CVE IDCVE-2004-0700

Description:
Synopsis :

The remote web server is using a module that is affected by a remote
code execution vulnerability.

Description :

The remote host is using a version vulnerable of mod_ssl which is
older than 2.8.19. There is a format string condition in the log
functions of the remote module which may allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code on the remote host.

*** Some vendors patched older versions of mod_ssl, so this
*** might be a false positive. Check with your vendor to determine
*** if you have a version of mod_ssl that is patched for this
*** vulnerability
