Apache Chunked Encoding Vulnerability on AIX (RS6000)

Hi All, I am currently pen-testing an AIX platform, which utilises Apache and IBM HTTP server in order to communicate with a back-end AS400 enviornment. I have scanned the remote host with the eeye tool Retina - Apache Chunked scanner V 1,0,3, which reports the host vulnerable. It would appear the tool attempts to exploit the vulnerability by attempting to send a small request that makes a vulnerable server to become unresponsive. Would I be right to say that this vulnerability is not exploitable on an RS6000 platform, given the current exploits in the wild, and the eeye tool is again producing false positives ???????? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. ./Mark PS: SF Bid number = BID 5033 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus Security Intelligence Alert (SIA) Service.
