"The remote host is running the Yaws web server. 

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a source code
disclosure issue.  By requesting a '.yaws' script following by %00, an
attacker may force the remote server to disclose the source code of
that script. 

Since scripts may contain sensitive information such as logins and
passwords, an attacker may exploit this flaw to obtain some
credentials on the remote host or a better understanding of the
security of the '.yaws' scripts." );
