"The remote web server is using the WebLogic plug-in for Apache
(mod_wl), an Apache module included with Oracle (formerly BEA)
WebLogic Server and used to proxy requests from an Apache HTTP server
to WebLogic. 

The version of this plug-in on the remote host is affected by a stack
buffer overflow that is triggered when processing a request with an
invalid parameter.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage
this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host. 

Note that Nessus has not tried to exploit this issue but rather has
only checked the affected module's build timestamp." );
