Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

The remote host is using the Apache mod_frontpage module.

mod_frontpage older than 1.6.1 is vulnerable to a buffer
overflow which may allow a possible hacker to gain root access.

*** of mod_frontage you are running, you are advised to manually
*** check which version you are running as this might be a false
*** positive.

If you want the remote server to be remotely secure, we advise
you do not use this module at all.
