"According to its banner, the version of Apache Traffic Server running
on the remote host is 5.3.x prior to 5.3.2. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities related to improper handling of HTTP/2
requests. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to have an
unspecified impact. No further details are available.

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