"The remote host is running a version of Xerver prior to 4.20. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that is
    triggered when a '.' is appended to the filename of a
    script in a URL. A remote attacker can exploit this to
    disclose the source code of the script. (CVE-2005-3293)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that is
    triggered when a specially crafted HTTP request ending
    with a null character (%00) at the end is sent. A remote
    attacker can exploit this to disclose directly listings.
    (CVE-2005-3293)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exits due to an
    unspecified flaw. A remote attacker can exploit this,
    via a specially crafted URL containing a null character
    (%00) followed by malicious code, to execute arbitrary
    script code in a user's browser. (CVE-2005-4774)");
