Hi,

I've just done audit with Nessus on one of my servers with "Safe
checks" and "Optimize the test" switched off.
In report i've got:

The remote web server seems to be vulnerable to a format string attack
on HTTP 1.0 header value.
An attacker might use this flaw to make it crash or even execute 
arbitrary code on this host.


Solution : upgrade your software or contact your vendor and inform him
           of this vulnerability

Risk factor : High


But i'm using mod_security which has blocked this and shows forbidden
(403) page.

So how to treat this? As false-positive?

Best Regards,
p.
