The version of httpd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.54. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-159-01 advisory.

  - Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may not send the X-Forwarded-* headers to the origin server based on     client side Connection header hop-by-hop mechanism. This may be used to bypass IP based authentication on     the origin server/application. (CVE-2022-31813)

  - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling') vulnerability in mod_proxy_ajp of     Apache HTTP Server allows an attacker to smuggle requests to the AJP server it forwards requests to. This     issue affects Apache HTTP Server Apache HTTP Server 2.4 version 2.4.53 and prior versions.
    (CVE-2022-26377)

  - Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier on Windows may read beyond bounds when configured to process     requests with the mod_isapi module. (CVE-2022-28330)

  - The ap_rwrite() function in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may read unintended memory if an     attacker can cause the server to reflect very large input using ap_rwrite() or ap_rputs(), such as with     mod_luas r:puts() function. Modules compiled and distributed separately from Apache HTTP Server that use     the 'ap_rputs' function and may pass it a very large (INT_MAX or larger) string must be compiled against     current headers to resolve the issue. (CVE-2022-28614)

  - Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may crash or disclose information due to a read beyond bounds in     ap_strcmp_match() when provided with an extremely large input buffer. While no code distributed with the     server can be coerced into such a call, third-party modules or lua scripts that use ap_strcmp_match() may     hypothetically be affected. (CVE-2022-28615)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
