remote host is version 5.3.0. It is, therefore, potentially affected
by an unspecified command execution vulnerability. This issue only
affects IBM HTTP Server for z/OS.

Note that Nessus did not actually test for this issue, but instead
has relied on the version in the server's banner.

Further note that Nessus has not attempted to determine if the 'PTF
UK90469' patch or a later patch has been applied.  If a patch has
already been applied, consider this a false positive.");
